Fireside Collective

Bonus video footage on YouTube! From Brad Davis. I was wandering through the artist camping area at Rooster Walk, on my way to an interview, when I stumbled on a group of guys picking some tunes.

The Tan and Sober Gentlemen

The band aims to explore the Celtic roots of North Carolinian music, and to play it with a fire and intensity they feel is lacking in much of today's folk music.
