    I looked for a thread for them but didn't find anything, lock if I didn't look hard enough!

    Scott Ralston – tour manager
    Bryan Ling – manager
    Odessa Jorgensen - vocals, fiddle
    Nico Aglietti – guitar, synthesizer, keyboards, vocals

    The only song to chart was their song, Home which went "viral" in January of 2011 when it was covered by Jorge Narvaez and his daughter Alexa.

    This is honestly my favorite band, as well as my brothers. We cover almost all of their songs, and are just smitten with them.

    Fiya Wata, Man on Fire, Mayla and I Don't Want to Pray are my favorites by them. As well as 40 Day Dream!

    Do you know about Edwarde Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros? What do you like or dislike about them? If you don't know them, would you give them a try?

    To any Edward Sharpe "newbies" out there, I would recommend listening to Home and 40 Day Dream first, just to test the wata!

    This is Alex.

    This is the phenomenal and talented Jade, standing with Alex.

    Here they are together again, and you can see how amazing they are.

    This is them dancing, because look at them. This is possibly the most visibly happy band on this planet.

    The name definitely strikes as familiar. Maybe if I listen to a couple songs, I'll remember who they are. Weird

    They are so fantastic, I cannot fathom the words to explain what they have done for me.

    I absolutely love them. Carries On is one of my favorite songs by them.
    I just love how different their sound is. And they are so fun to watch on stage!

    Have you seen them?

    I love watching them perform. My favorite song to watch is this one or this one. Same song, such different sound!

    @ birdbones
    Yeah, a few years back they were at Summerfest and I managed to catch them!

    That's what I love about them. They change and do different versions of the same song. I love when bands do that, especially if it's one of your favorite songs, it's cool to hear it in a different matter.

    Oh yeah, everytime we here the studio version, we sing the "when I wake up in the morning" verse, even though it's not there.
