DEAD FINGERS

Dead Fingers is an album that honors the classic sounds of rock n' roll, piano, ringing guitars, frame songs that have a distinctly southern sense of place. The songwriting is brilliant, from gentle love songs about missing each other on tour (Another Planet) to 4 Stone Coaches which describes unspeakable loss. While some of the tunes have a spare, Americana vibe, but they'll also throw down an ethereal, string-laden number like Please Don't Me Go or the horn and piano backed Against the River which also sports a fiery distorted guitar lead. Kate and Taylor sing so beautifully together one would easily assume they've been performing together for years and years, but they actually started joining one another on stage in 2005 and began playing together around 2008 in what became Dead Fingers. While they write songs separately, they come together to collaborate musically when they are complete.
