Album Notes

"Listening to the August is like listening to old Johnny Cash tunes on modern radio: The sound is nostalgic-country complete with its own special twang, but it carries with it a folksy storytelling value that contemporary mainstream rock can't maintain, aside from that of maybe Sufjan Stevens or Andrew Bird. It could be just what Chicago needs -- or doesn't know it wants."
- The Daily Herald (Chicago)

REVIEWS

Lots of fun!
author: Mary B
These tracks are a bit more up beat than Thistle, Sparrow and the Tall, Tall Grass. Their version of Me and Bobby McGee is fantastic. This band is great live and this recording is like seeing them live. Looking forward to another concert in Ann Arbor sometime soon!

This is actually a demo. If you heard them live, they'd sound just like this. Yeah. They're that good. They're moving to Nashville very soon. Expect great things to come.
