Intelligent, funny, excellently played, clever... This Milwaukee band combines violin, banjo, harmonica, ap steel and a great, understated rhythm section to create some of the most emotionally effective music around today.The two lead vocalists, Noah Riemer and Beth Spransy, have equally engaging voices - Riemer's for its smiling quality and Spransy for its unshakable melancholy.Drawing from memories of her life, Amelia writes folk and rock songs that push at the edges. Royko's performances are captivating as she moves naturally between self-restraint and full-out release. She delivers nothing less than pure honesty and soul, precision and passion.
