Big Harp: The songs range from gun-in-her-garter saloon narratives & paranoid soul struts to intimate ballads of quiet resignation and openhearted love songs. The recordings are raw & un-fussed over, with the spirited energy & honest emotion of live performance. Drawing from the classic country & folk of Senseney's childhood & anchored by Drootin's rock-solid rhythms & indie-punk roots, White Hat contains echoes of artists from Townes Van Zandt to Nick Cave, Willie Nelson to Captain Beefheart. While currently based in Los Angeles, the pair has long connections to Omaha. Drootin, a member of The Good Life, has toured & recorded with acts such as Bright Eyes, She & Him & Azure Ray. It was actually on a tour with The Good Life that she was swept off her feet by the handsome guitarist in the opening band, Art in Manila. Drootin is also the founder of Omaha Girls Rock!, a rock 'n' roll camp for girls that opened its doors in July 2011.
