“Haunted country, acoustic blues and rugged folk all meet [here]…” —Rolling Stone

Holcombe has a knack for exploring the depths of the working-class life, good and bad. He is a storyteller, and his songs have history. “Papermill Man” in particular captures the gritty banalities of mill work in a vivid, descriptive way: “Smoke blowing up in the air/One room shack/One room school…Sawmill sawdust stuck in your lungs/And your head can’t hear the thunder,” he sings, transporting us to this one-horse town that sucks its people in. Holcombe has always been a classic troubadour, a little rough around the edges, no frills and as authentic as it gets.

About The Ploughshare Poets:

Ryan Stauffer and Vade King are The Ploughshare Poets, a popular duo at the Bottlebrush Gallery known for their boisterous Celtic music, strong harmonies, clever banter, and impromptu parades through the streets of Harmony. Far from being a kitschy pub band, The Poets are masters of the history and cultural importance of Scottish and Irish music. Expert musicians, they play bagpipes, guitar, whistles, drums, and bouzouki. Ryan has played bagpipes for 20 years and makes his own small pipes.

Vade played extensively in England and Scotland and was the lead singer of “Colin’s Way” for 10 years.
