For episode 13, I sit down with Nashville based singer-songwriter duo The Danberrys to talk their new album "Shine", writing and working as a duo, touring, spirituality and lyrics and so much more! The Danberrys are somehow both charmingly old-world and very much of this moment. The married couple’s rich pastoral blues and muscly folk evoke the big-hearted storytelling of pioneering giants like the Carter Family but could only come now, as a mixed offshoot of roots music’s ever-growing family tree.
