Folk-rock act The Low Anthem present a modern take on American roots music. Their diverse instrumentation has included jaw harp, saw, stylophone and customized antique pump organs. They join us to play live and preview songs from their forthcoming album, "Smart Flesh," which they recorded themselves in a vacant Rhode Island pasta sauce factory.
The Low Anthem will be performing at Lincoln Center on January 13, 2011 as part of the American Songbook series. More information here.

"Matter of Time" is wonderful. The Hammered Dulcimer is a captivating sound, as is the saw. Look forward to seeing you guys in London!
Still blowing us away with your music The Low Anthem. After seeing them in York (UK) last year we can't wait to see them at Manchester (UK) in April.... I really recommend anyone see them live, they are amazing. Love the new songs, looking forward to the new album. See you on the road!!! Mel and Ian x (UK)

Such wonderfully talented group of young musicians! I first saw them in a showcase at the Philadelphia Folk Festival and was captivated! I am glad they're finally getting some real attention!
Great to hear the new stuff and looking forward to seeing you in London in April and later at the End of the Road Festival!!
Oh, man! I just found out about this and tuned in. Hey Ben, Jocie, Jeff, and Mat. Looking so forward to getting the new album in the mail! See you in D.C. next month. "The Low Anthem" is terrific. Peace.
Hi guys!! Sounds awesome!! Hope you come back to CT (The Space, particularly!)! :)
This music is very pretty. Thanks to John for showcasing them and introducing me (and other listeners!) to their music.
Beautiful stuff. Sounds like the offspring of R.E.M. and Devendra Banhart.
