Bio

This family group fronted by Shane Tutmarc (formerly of Dolour) is paying tribute to their long line of musical genes - bringing together just about every thread of American music to create their own mutation of "modern roots". Shane's brother, Brandon Tutmarc, drives the group with his primitive yet tasteful drumming, and cousin Ryan Tutmarc brings the groove with his Fender bass. With a second album dropping in March (less than a year after their KEXP-blessed debut), the band is on a mission and plowing full-speed ahead. Catch them if you can!
