The Sills new self-titled CD marries the city and the country with just a touch of skid row. This first release for the six local musicians has a strange genre-bending sound full of Gospel turned road house, Folk dressed up as Jazz standards and barely concealing a tainted gypsy ancestry.

Recorded in town at The Sound Garden Studio the CD is down home and up town, local, regional, and universal.

Old Sewing Machine
This acoustically based duo blends roots of folk, pop, and blues to form simple sounds and words woven without cause or abandonment.
