We're About 9

Maryland duo We're About 9 is renowned for their soaring harmonies and whimsical, outside-the-box songwriting. They call it "short format fiction, large format harmony." Their edgy, charming, dissonant and robust approach to modern folk appeals to those just discovering this corner of the music world, as well as to those who have inhabited it happily for years. They work hard and take the craft seriously, but their presentation is all about fun. "Musical prowess, careful writing, an engaging stage presence and dynamic vocals that blend or stand alone...like pressing Richard Shindell's next edas through a 20-something cappuccino machine. If [We're About 9's latest album] is where contemporary folk is going, you'll want to be on board." —Angela Page, SingOut! Magazine
