We are the "finest acoustic duo ever to originate from the English faculty in the history of Hornell High School". Okay, only. We have been an entity for over a decade, though each of us has played for many years.
Band/artist history
It started as a lark playing the inaugural coffee house at Hornell High and has turned into a Carvin 1000 watt PA and a debut CD, entitled FOLIO, up to QUARTO. Damian contributes his seemingly vast store of "organically developed" tunes and Tim adds the critically attentive producer's, director's, and listener's ear. The end product is... you decide.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
We have been playing in the Hornell area. We enjoy the ever-changing crowd and atmosphere there and the fact that nobody heckles incessantly for "Baby, I'm Amazed", especially after we've just played "Maybe I'm Amazed". You think that this description is bad? You should have been there.
Your musical influences
Oh, lord... we're still trying to figure out who we sound like. Let's just say that we cover a diaspora of songs, from Spoon and Radiohead to CCR and Dave Mason.
What equipment do you use?
We mentioned the Carvin PA. Tim plays a Takamine, Damian a Seagull. We record with Audacity, a freeware multi-track recording program.
Anything else?
We've had a great time so far, honing our skills as composers, performers, and producers. Great thanks to Jim Anderson for getting our feet wet in the studio, Anton for the gig support, The Brothers Testani for the gigs, our colleagues and students for the praise, and Nik, Whitney, Emily, Pati, and Kristy for helping with some songs.

This is most definitely classic Bard Brothers. Minimalist, darkish, wistful, and full of great imagery. I liked the space alot and when the backup vox came in it was killer. Great lyrics.."prayin' for the sky to burn"...excellent! Instrumentation fit the song well and the vocals were top shelf, generating images of a man in a field looking up at the sky (for me) ...a poor farmer, who is always at the mercy of Mother Nature's extremes.
If i had to nitpick on tech issues. i would just suggest raising the volume on the intro guitar. Outside of that, i think the mix and production are fine. Good tune and nice job on this one Damian!
I had no idea you guys ever did stuff like this. Is this new?Who did the drums? Good writing here and lyrics delivered solidly and with emotion by Tim. I liked the panned guitars, which were mixed well and didn't detract from the vocal focus. The big stereo lead came in like a hurricane. Nice riffage there! Such a departure from your older songs. Spreading your musical wings..and doing it in style! Audacity again?
Had me smiling all thru this one. Not that it was a funny song at all...just because it is so out of the box from most of your work. Your lyrics always leave a lot to the imagination...and deliver great imagery. They have power...and those insane, overdriven, distorted leads impart an almost psychotic feel to your verse. I loved that. They also provided a nice dynamic. Deia did well to. The outro was creative and cool. Nice one!
Some serious writing here. retrospection and introspection.
A rather dark and contemplative tune, like many of your songs are. They tend to give the listener a lot to think about. I really liked all the background touches, the hushed vocals, the harmonies, the strings were ace and the sparse but creative leads and harmonics were interesting. I dropped one star just because I thought the lead vox were just a touch too far out front (much better than buried tho!) That's nit pickin' tho and just subjective stuff. The song is excellent. Mixed in Audacity?
Well you're right, I do definitely love this tune. It's happy, energetic, has fun lyrics, it's well sung with a nice arrangement and some cool instrumental breaks. What more is there? Fine tune. Gonna add it to my bluegrass station, The Howl.
