“The session Allysen recorded for us features three of her own songs and one traditional song ‘Blackwaterside‘ which she first heard Anne Briggs performing. The session also marks a new direction for Allysen on which she intertwines her love of psychedelic and trad folk. Her friend Bob Kendall recorded her in his shed one snowy evening. I think you’ll all agree that this session is simply magical, she never disappoints and always leaves you wanting more.” – Alex Gallacher Founder Folk Radio UK

Jacob Haller has been a fixture of the Rhode Island music scene for the past ten years, and has been frequently featured in popular shows such as AS220’s Empire Revue and Common Fence Point Music’s annual Gathering of Fiddlers & Fishermen. For this, his third album, he has brought together some of his favorite musicians to record songs on topics such as: Satan, relationships, kittens, exploding whales, criminal activity, coffee, loneliness, and time travel. The result is an eclectic mix of songs that will entertain and confuse you.
Praise for ‘Time To Break Up The Band’:
“With ‘Time To Break Up The Band’, Jacob does one of the hardest things a songwriter can attempt, and he does it successfully: he takes forms that seem familiar and imposes completely his own unique sensibility. The resulting songs are full of wry stories that take unexpected turns; they’re truly original, and they do not disappoint.” — Ian Fitzgerald, singer-songwriter
“A refreshingly light-hearted take on Blues and Folk music. Time To Break Up The Band gives you a nod and wink to accompany the foot tapping that ensues.” — The Blues Record
“If you’re a fan of Jacob Haller for his witty clever approach to lyrics, “Time To Break Up The Band” will not disappoint!” — Heather Rose
“Jacob Haller’s next album, after this one, I predict will be called ‘Quitting My Day Job’. A talented cast of characters both in Jacob’s head and outside of it have put to record a friendly bit of listening. The only thing that bothers me about this release is that I didn’t think to write ‘Fork In The Road’, you win this round Mr. Haller!” — Sonny Roelle, the Sentimental Favorites
Praise for Jacob Haller:
“Jacob Haller does music as though he were the secret love-child of Warren Zevon and Burl Ives, and while this is impossible, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t let that stop him. Nor should you let it stop you. Enjoy the music!” — Jeffrey Channing Wells, “Skin Horse” co-author
“Providence musician Jacob Haller is as unique as his lyrics are clever.” — Annie Messier, Providence Daily Dose, May 10, 2012
“No one spins a tale more uniquely than Jacob Haller.” — Chris Conti, The Providence Phoenix, November 15, 2011
“If B.B. King and Weird Al Yankovic had a child, well…they probably wouldn’t admit to it. But it would definitely be Jacob Haller!” — Eddie Delta, Co-Host of The Blues Record podcast
“Jacob Haller is not only a talented musician and songwriter, he’s also a talented songwriter and musician.” — Harper Johnson, Co-Host of The Blues Record podcast

Born on January 3rd, 2013 this two headed dragon crawled, fully formed, out of the Providence river; but instead of breathing fire and smoke, one head spews thick, crunchy guitar riffs and the other intense, thundering beats. The two moving together as one, melting the hearts and minds of each person fortunate to have crossed their path of destruction. The Providence, RI based rock duo have just released their debut EP, following in the minimalist footsteps of legendary two-piece rockers like the Flat Duo Jets, the White Stripes, and the Black Keys.

There are songs about genuine alien abduction, teen struggle, real fat camps, as well as fat camps of the mind. In this record Nate takes on The Devil, which is Sam Hill and all the things he is able to conjure. What is to come, and the sound the future holds depends on the outcome of this battle.

2014 warms up with “Faceless Angels,” the latest from Cranston’s Deadlands. Murder/apocalypse blues that you can tap your toes to. A good chunk of the album was recorded live at Plan of a Boy. Hot guitars and cool dead dames, where no one is guilty and no one plays innocent (very well).
