Close the Fringe in the company of Mr

of kick-ass, bluegrass-infused songs about folk history, sinners
and days at the circus turned deadly, will make you want to dance,
drink whiskey with carnies, and tattoo yourself a fine handlebar
mustache. "Eller brings an entertaining highwire element
to his banjo-centric anti-folk and country-fried opera."
REAL DETROIT. "This dude knows his shit." PLAN
