Porter’sblistering guitar playing and rich songwriting provides the perfectarchitecture to support Nickerson’s lush vocals, complimenting and elevatingPorter’s songs to make them feel both fresh and timeless.

Bonfireto Ash marks the duo’s first full-length collaboration. This albumcharts experiences that bridge the intimate with the universal. From the headybloom of new love (“Old Red Barn”), to the urgency to save love from skiddingout of reach forever (“Loving On Her Mind”).
