I discovered Orpheum Bell a few months ago, and have been constantly listening to them since. I love the variety of instruments that they play, and how all of those mesh together to make a fascinating and unique sound. Red Sea Pedestrians were amazing as well. I've never listened to them before, but will definitely be checking them out further. Both bands are full of highly-talented and versatile musicians, and their blends of sounds and musical genres (klezmer, folk, gypsy, old-time bluegrass) give them each a very unique and lovely sound. Highly recommend both bands for lovers of great music that crossing and mixes genres.

Favorite moment: The jawbone of an ass being used as an instrument. And Aaron singing through a gramophone amplifier horn. Amazing! @
Opening act(s): Red Sea Pedestrians (also phenomenal!) @
