Folk band from
Northern Virginia*. Members include:
Murphy-Wells sings lead on most songs; Schaefer occasionally will switch in and take lead. All four are talented singers; several
a cappella songs are standard in their
repertoire.
One of the most distinctive features of this band is Hartness's preference for Latin or African drums, rather than the usual rock-style 5+-piece. When Eddie brings along the trap set for a show in addition to his usual kit, you can tell it's a special occasion.
*No, neither Eddie nor the rest of the band are from Ohio. All four are NoVA natives; all three guys graduated from James Madison University, and Wells has a degree from Virginia Tech.
