ABOUT THE BAND / SONG
Adventures in Americana called the band’s album 'Up and Down the River' “a story, a northern noir… each song like a letter to someone, pinned to a door or left held down by a stone on the side of the road.” No Depression hailed their records as “stellar,” while the Minneapolis Star Tribune praised their songs as “masterfully and jubilantly plucked.” That same narrative depth and string-band firepower run straight through “Fishing Reel” - a tune that shows the band’s high-wire, hard-driving pickin’.

ABOUT THE STATIC ROOTS SESSIONS
