I woke up this morning with this song running through my head ...

I've been obsessed with the music of this super group American folk band consisting of Anaïs Mitchell (Hadestown), Eric D. Johnson (Fruit Bats, The Shins), and Josh Kaufman (The National, Hiss Golden Messenger, Josh Ritter) since I stumbled across their music recently. They released their debut grammy nominated album in January 2020. This song Old Dutch, is from their third album Keep Me On Your Mind / See You Free released in June of 2024.
