"Under the moniker My Politic, Missouri natives Kaston Guffey and Nick Pankey supply engaging, heartfelt and powerful lyrical narratives that tap into the classic storytelling style of ’70s folk and modern Americana. Their 2021 record Short-Sighted People in Power magnifies the uncertainty, fear and anger that engulfed the social and political landscape of the U.S. in 2020 and beyond. Guffey and Pankey give voice to the emotions many Americans have felt during these tumultuous years. Whether taking on the social landscape or reflecting on moments of personal triumph and loss, My Politic has a style of intimate songwriting that’s often reminiscent of the late, great John Prine."
