The clean, sweet melodies setling into a groove; the lollop of a hornpipe and the measured race of the reel; these speak to us of comfort.
As touring musicians, we find ourselves in unfamiliar places more often than not. We love to explore these new worlds; still, we are always on the lookout for reminders of home. Ken seeks out soccer games and late-night milkshakes; Laura looks for subway systems and dark leafy greens!
In the end though, it is in the tunes themselves that we find the comfort and warmth born of long acquaintance. These melodies are a safe place from which we venture out into the wider worlds of improvisation and composition. This music is a home from which we explore the wonders of new places and new people.
