heavy meadows began as a softer folk rock exploration of loss and joy through
quiet revolution. Modern day minstrels with lyrics from 19th century
poets one minute, ska tinged surf rock the next, they are a group of
musicians out to provide an emotionally rich soundscape. Currently at
work on their fourth album.

Paper
Beat Scissors combines the talents of Tim Crabtree (vocals and guitar),
Jessie Tesolin (cello and vocals) and Ryan Veltmeyer (vocals,
keyboards, brass, whatever else is lying around). Instruments create
textures, vocals layer upon the top and, at times, stab out, or soar to
unexpected places. The feeling is intimate.
