Jon Hogan and Maria Moss play scorch folk: Original songs with old souls, the Carter Family canon, Appalachian trad, Delta soul, Gypsy swing and gospel blues, delivered with passion, speed, drive and Jason Uhlmann’s deft upright bass. Part folk-punk, part 1930s vintage valentine, it snaps with mad harmonies, Mother Maybelle-style picking, yodeling, scat, and an archtop-guitar rhythm chop that’s like a driving wheel. It’s early country, Old Weird America, cockeyed covers of Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt, and a blend of old-time and original songs that’s uplifting and dark, modal, modern, and haunting. They’ll play more than 200 shows in 2016, touring in the Western U.S., Ireland, Belgium and the Netherlands.
