The Danberrys are somehow both charmingly old-world and very much of this moment. The married couple’s rich story songs often land like updated Chaucer or Carter Family––vivid, big-
hearted, and wry vignettes––while the Tennessee duo’s pastoral blues and robust folk could only come now, playful and masterful culminations of roots music’s ever-growing family tree. Dorothy Daniel’s commanding voice roars low and high––an ideally nuanced partner for Ben DeBerry’s nimble guitar playing. Six Independent Music Award nominations, including two nods for best Americana album and one for best EP, punctuate their résumé.
