The Mortgage Lifters life at Northwest Folklife, 2022

Bio: "Named for an heirloom tomato, The Mortgage Lifters play swing and pop music from the first half of the last century, some true-to-the-era originals, a few sing-alongs, and tunes from far-flung lands. Like its namesake, the Lifters “start off mild, and then build, with a long finish on the palate.”
