Royal Pine
Balladeers Royal Pine are wanted for their scandalous songs revue. The musicians, last seen in Brooklyn, New York, are charged with perpetrating lies and deception by weaving an ever-changing narrative into their song-set on banjo, ukelele, guitar.
Though you never know if you'll get fact or fiction from these untrustworthy songsters, the timeless music crackles with strains of old-time, folk and Americana and wraps you up like a warm woolen blanket on a cold winter's eve. So move closer to the campfire, pass the moonshine and get ready to be smoked by these dueling tall-tale-tellers and their hypnotic songs.
This is folk music for the unafraid.
