I want you to know about a great little band out of Saratoga Springs, New York. They're the Dry Bones Band and I highly recommend you check them out. I have included 3 links here for your choice. If you like them, then make sure you make a habit of visiting youtube on a regular basis, because Dry Bones Band has been posting new videos lately.

Dry Bones Band on iLike
They have a unigue Folk/Alternative Folk sound, but 90% of their music is original, written by Dan Hubbs (who looks entirely cool in his shades). They are sometimes compared to Carter Family, Tom Waits, Charlie Poole and Dan admits being influenced by wallace stevens, memphisminnie, pogues, Iris Dement, and Bruce Springsteen .
The band consists of Dan on Old Time Banjo, Frank on the Fiddle, Matt on the Guitar, and beautiful-voiced Mare does most of the Vocals. Don't take my work for it, but find out for yourself. They're good, damn good.
Right now the Band does the Upper New York thing, with gigs in cafes, bars, coffee shops and festivals. They are well known in their neck of the woods, but it's just a matter of time before they break out.
In the meantime, if you REALLY like their music, drop me a line and I'll send you their CD.
