well, gather 'round and lend a listenin' ear to the tale of in lieu of flowers, we're six folks who got a hankerin' for the vintage sweet tones of pedal steel guitar, fiddle, accordion, and irish bouzouki, and the old-timey twang of telecasters and gretsch guitars. our songs paint a picturesque view of the american landscape both old and new, rich and vibrant like the sunsets over new england. we're lovers of lyrics and high on harmonies, and both will make your soul stir. so if you're lookin' for a somethin' that's as timeless as the frontier but modern as a broken heart, give us a listen!
