Tumbledown House

Tumbledown House met in Portland, Oregon in 2006. Then they moved around a lot. They write stories that may revolve around shady characters down on their luck, brothels with an eccentric clientele, or a scorned woman out for revenge. These stories are delivered with sultry female vocals and jazz accompaniment reminiscent of a bygone era. In 2008, Tumbledown House won the 4th annual Singer/Songwriter competition held in Livingston, Montana. After winning the competition, the duo began recording their self-titled debut album, which was released in the summer of ’09. In the fall of 2009, Tumbledown House embarked on a full U.S. tour to promote their debut album, and went on to share the stage with the likes of Crooked Still, The Dodos, The Devil Makes Three, Keller WIlliams, Elephant Revival, Laura Gibson with Musee Mecanique, and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band. Since then, the band has circled the country another couple of times, toured the South in the spring of 2012 and has toured Alaska once or twice a year for several years now. The duo hunkered down in northern Arizona for a spell where the lawlessness and the cheap booze were fine fodder for a second album. With the help of Lady Luck, they got 3 members of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band on the album and found themselves on the road again. These days, the duo is putting down roots in San Francisco and loving the festive citizenship that abounds there. Whenever possible, they play with a full band of rotating talented characters, and continue to meet up with past band mates whenever on the road, just to see what kind of trouble they can get into.
