FIELD WORK #8: Shelley's Murder Boys - The Cuckoo Bird
Turn off the highway and head into the hills with Shelley’s Murder Boys – a band that brings a new verve to the old timey music of the Appalachians.
With a haunting fiddle, a rollicking guitar, and a twanging banjo, Shelley and the boys will take you on a journey to their porch in the backwoods. You may never escape.
In the band’s own words: “We are just a simple devil-lovin family that play bluegrass and folk tunes about the hills and rivers we've roamed, the things we've seen and the stories we’ve been told.”
Featuring Shelley, Jimmy and Joe, the band has appeared at several folk festivals and have supported many bands, such as The Backsliders.

FIELD WORK #4: Rollo Anderson - Dead Man
After spending an hour and a half filming a different song and packing up all my gear, Rollo stood by the Cooks River and started playing this. Spidey-sense tingling, I ran and grabbed my camera to try capture the moment before the light disappeared. The sun is almost completely gone by the end of the take but there was just too much magic going on here to be denied.

This video began as a technical experiment, a way to test out my GoPro in low light conditions and to teach myself some basic compositing. It's set to a piece of music by LA based composer Chrysanthe Tan titled Magic Lady from her 'Stories' album. She is super talented and was gracious enough to let me use her song, so you should check out her stuff here http://www.chrysanthetan.com.
