In addition, the duo will release their highly anticipated album Birdsong on September 29. Featuring ten tracks, the album is about conquering the cage and finding your voice. 

In the tradition of Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, the pair soar like birds on a wing and their song is glorious. Venturing beyond the minimal, intimate acoustic stylings of their debut album (The Song Club), Birdsong adds more meat on the bone. Electric guitars can be heard throughout, along with an eclectic array of obscure, small stringed instruments.

Award winning Matt Fell lends his considerable talents to the project, proving a perfect choice as co-producer and musician. The album contains the tracks Bogswamp, Something Good, Unsteady (Ever Since You’re Gone) and the upcoming, Fly By Night, released on July 14.
