Tallahassee August 17, 2012

Massachusetts band Tallahassee takes its name from a Muskogean Indian word often translated as "old town." The band, fronted by a former NFL lineman, merges indie, country and folk influences to create delicately arranged songs of place and introspection. They blend traditional instruments such as banjo, dobro and fiddle with finger-picked guitars, Rhodes piano and upright bass.
