Discography
"Dead By the End" - NEW 5 song EP streaming everywhere on all platforms March 1, 2023
"Buttered Side Down" - Toe-tapping fiddle tunes, poignant original songs and mixing rock with traditional Celtic styles are the trademarks of this eclectic band based in Dallas.
The title of this album is a reference to Jennings’ Corollary to the Law of Selective Gravity (related to Murphy’s Law, of course), which states, “The chance of the bread falling with the buttered side down is proportional to the cost of the carpet.” But unlike Murphy, we have been lucky and blessed to find each other and make music we love. We hope you enjoy the songs, tunes, and “Irish sandwiches.” Bon apetit!
