>> *Hey there!  My name’s Maxwell - I've met you folks a few times in my

>> Thorn & Shout is a two piece from Maine, who play original chamber folk
>> and
>> Americana.  The duo is composed of Sofia Albam (formerly of Squinch
>> Owl<http://squinchowl.bandcamp.com/>and Sons
>> of an Illustrious Father <http://sonsofanillustriousfather.com/>) and
>> Leonidas Link (of Thy Courage Quail <http://couragequail.bandcamp.com/>).
>>  After going into hiding in the woods somewhere for the last year, they’ve
>> joined together and are writing music that is far more intentional and
>> mature than their previous projects.  Between the two of them, they play
>> resonator guitar, five string banjo, viola, foot-powered shruti box,
>> harmonica, and percussion.  They both sing lead and harmony, and might
>> actually have the best singing voices I’ve ever heard (not exaggerating).
>>  You might like them if you like Brown Bird, Hurray for the Riff Raff,
>> Black Prairie, Ralph Stanley, medieval folk music, taxidermy,
>> cryptozoology...*
>>
>> *We’re working on mixing and mastering a full-length album, but right now,
>> all they have is a rough demo:
>> http://thornandshout.bandcamp.com
>> And here's a couple of videos from one of their first shows:

>> *I know the two of them will love your space - while they've made an
>> intentional choice to not be overtly political in their lyrical content,
>> they're both anarchists and primitivists so you guys'll probably get
>> along.

>> Anyhow, thanks much - let me know what ya think!
