notes
The Rustics bring an eclectic mix of acoustic music that synthesizes the soul of Mississippi John Hurt, melodic sensibility of David Grisman, and honesty of a trusted friend. Multi-instrumentalists and songwriters from diverse backgrounds, Travis Magrane and Birger Olsen interlace free-flowing melodies with expressive lyrics that are at once simple, strangely familiar, and poetic. The Rustics bring warmth and originality into a stew of traditional and modern generations of folk and roots music that leaves listeners calmed and piqued with two feet softly planted in the ground -- unless of course they're dancing.

Great Variety from amazing musicians
author: SteinsWow! Listen to 'Sand on the Ground' and 'Stiff Wind' to get a feel for Travis and his amazing guitar and vocal skills. His lyrics are always thoughtful and the songs take you on a journey, leaving you in a better place than where you started.
