The fellas in Heartsleeve may be relatively new to the local scene, but they have their banjos n’ mandos n’ more sound well honed.
I hung out with them in a terrifying (yet lovely) porch in the middle of nowhere for a conversation about their folk-with-a-twist sound, covering the Mars Volta with a banjo, playing as a full band vs. basic acoustic duos or trios, and much more.
Plus, they performed four songs live, and since they don’t have any formal recordings out yet… this may be one of the only places you can hear them. For now, anyway.
