I recently discovered Nashville band The Vespers, and let me tell you, I am enamored! They have that perfect blend of folk and Americana that I crave. Unlike a lot of folk bands, however, their songs are quite uplifting. The band consists of two sets of siblings who met at a jam session around- wait for it- a campfire. How cool is that? My favorite song is track 11 of their debut album, a charming tune called Eyes Wide Open about a grandfather. While I'm not sure if it is about one of their own grandparents, it reminds me of my feelings for my Oma, with whom I was very close. Take a listen, and if you buy a cd, get it autographed! (It's neat that they're still indie enough to do that.)
