Yah deedly, they're a wonderful group. They were one of the featured acts at our Phil Ochs song night last fall ... helped us raise upwards of $8,000 for our community chorus. They bring to mind a sort of musical cross between the Perth County Conspiracy of fond memory and Spirit of the West, with a bit of Leahy thrown in.
