Release Notes:
http://www.thespeakers.info
"The Speakers are a lo-fi, new-folk duo from California. Their latest CD is a
collection of songs with lyrics by William Butler Yeats. Brian Miller and Peter
Musselman say they were inspired by the Irish poet's turn-of-the-century work
because it sounded like country songs.
Miller and Musselman have been playing together since they were in middle school
in Lancaster, Pa. They continued to play into college and later moved to
California where they formed The Speakers in 1999.
For their new CD they sang and played accordion, guitar, bass, banjo, drums,
violins, piano, organ, spaced-out keyboards and threw in some whistling.
Miller has also been the guitarist for Jolie Holland for the last five years and
has appeared on her last two albums, Catalpa and Escondida, and her upcoming
third album, Springtime Can Kill You."
