The first cut from the Living Room Sessions--five guys, one mic, three originals (and a couple old favorites). Here, John sings an original about the strange fate of Gram Parsons.

Caprock Fireball

We descended into the basement to record a few more original tunes.

Piedmont Girl

Love is like nature--strange, cruel, drunken at times.

Creature Of Habit

Clint Gentry wrote and sings this song about the bloody skirmishes between Kansas and Missouri during the civil war.

Quantrill's Run

The boat went under from the weight of our "infamous banjo" notes: http://dcmusicdownload.com/2015/04/21/11-essential-acts-to-see-at-kingman-island-bluegrass-and-folk-festival-this-saturday/

Rain Song (Muddy Water Mississippi Blues)

John Nidiry sings this grand riverboat ballad by John Hartford, one of our personal heroes.

Let Him Go On Mama

A new tune by John--featuring boxes of memories and some fake Italian. 

Attic Song

An original barn-burner about the rise and fall of a Piedmont mill town.

Milltown Blues

All the Delafielders are big Willie fans. Here's our take on an old favorite.

Bloody Mary Morning (Willie Nelson)

Delafield Aereo-Take #1

Delafield String Band is like a Metro bus ride through the American wilderness. It starts in the Petworth neighborhood, glides past moonlit street corners, stops regularly at the Petworth Citizen, the Argonaut, and festivals and markets, and leaves behind a trail of dark ballads and lonesome waltzes. Jay Nelson drives on bass, pickin' up the tempo and hittin' the hard stops. Wilson Peden holds the line with his flattop, laying down licks, chords and the law. Jake Seligman's old mandolin sparks the engine; his hands are greasy and his songs are desperate. John Nidiry keeps it quiet 'til the groove grabs him and his dobro flashes lightning like a polished hubcab.  And Clint Gentry, well, everybody's just trying to keep him and his deep space banjo from falling off the bus and into music legend.
