Stefan has been creating and performing music since his
teenage years, following his father into the business in the
same way he learned from his father in the woods and the
river. The joy Stefan finds in the outdoors and the
gratitude he shows on the stage are part of the same values
that persevere in his music today. Stefan
'
s sound is a rustic
and approachable blend of Americana, folk, and roots.
Audiences comment that his lyrics are stark and sincere,
and his voice is dynamic and distinctive. He lists Bob
Dylan, Guy Clark, Leonard Cohen, and Richard Buckner
among his influences.
Born in rural Indiana shortly after his family moved “west” from southern Virginia to start a livestock feed store, Simon Flory’s music is suffused with the elements of his childhood – days spent in the fields, church sings, gravel roads, and genuine mule drawn molasses.
It takes a perceptive ear to translate these icons of a mythical “Americana” into the daily textures of real human lives, and Flory does it with the sincerity of early country music. His compositions are as much short-story sketches as they are songs, each populated – like the locales that inspire them – with those among us who have few choices.
Beth and Brandon combine their classical, folk, jazz and choral music training to create a modern perspective on a vintage sound. With a focus on vocal melody and harmony, their songs sound as if they had been unearthed with the patina of decades in the songbook of Americana. An array of instruments (guitar, banjo and bass) pass between the hands of the duo to bring original and standard tunes to life.
Both members of other Kansas City bands (Konza Swamp, Little Miss Dynamite, CatGut, Whiskey Mash) the duo was forged in the rich musical melting pot of the Rural Grit Happy Hour in KC’s Crossroads Arts District. Together they seek the time and means to provide a genuine and meaningful musical experience to their audiences.
