How we met:
We were inspired by PFC’s 2008 video for ‘Stand By Me,’ especially after seeing the familiar faces of New Orleans own Grandpa Elliot and Washboard Chaz. Music is a powerful vehicle for change and we love the message PFC continues to spread. It was a honor and so enjoyable to record some tracks in our humble and historic home, Preservation Hall.
