"Tether"
Written, arranged and performed by: Amanda and Audrey of Bridge 19
Engineered and mixed by: Anne Gauthier
Bridge 19 is a touring band based out of Louisville, KY. They offer a sound pallet of moody electric guitars, horns, accordion, & pedal steel - with rhythmic stylings of Nola jazz meets americana. Vocal harmony is the corner stone, and makes Bridge 19 unique and transfixing. Bridge 19 somehow closes the gap between americana, singer/songwriter, vintage soul, folk, & pop. one of the few bands that you can both dance and cry to. http://www.bridge19.com/
