The Des Moines-based quartet continues to explore singer/songwriter Andy Fleming’s enviable gift for crystallizing the plights of the underpaid, the under-loved, the unemployed and the disconnected, elevating those tales into the realm of near-mythic parables. Whether couched in manic, hip-shakin’ rockers or elegantly shimmering country-laced ballads, the heartfelt lyrics merge with the music in a natural synergy that delivers the message with vivid, cinematic scope.
