Underneath The Floorbirds

The Floorbirds are a boy/girl duo that is clearly living in a completely different era to the rest of us... 1930s America to be precise. They make music that belongs from the dustbowl era, though this is neither novelty nor parody. Members Daniel and Alyssa combine their deep love for blues, roots and folk to make gentle, beautifully crafted interpretations of old time standards and new material. Hailing from Minneapolis, the duo gives the sense of being true scholars in their field. It is groups like these that help keep the candle burning for American folk music, and for this, Arm's Reach simply tip our hats.
