Heavy Diamond Ring with Taylor James Donskey at The Warming House 6/23/19

Heavy Diamond Ring

"Thirteen years after founding indie-folk giants Paper Bird, Sarah Anderson (vocals, trumpet) and Paul DeHaven (guitar, vocals) embark on their latest collaboration, Heavy Diamond Ring. HDR harnesses their proven partnership and their distinct synthesis of open-hearted All-American folk-rock towards refreshing new heights. Led by Anderson’s smooth-as-honey vocals and DeHaven’s rugged guitar chops the band also features knockout players Blake Stepan (bass, vocals), Mike Lang (keys, vocals) and Orion Tate Ignelzi (drums). This is road-trip music. This is black & gold. This is HDR.


Taylor James Donskey

Taylor James Donskey is finding his way through the alternative country tradition, sharing stories of everyday people. Bare bones arrangements and simple melodies invite listeners in to explore the emerging themes that shape relationships in times like these. These songs are the lasting impressions of individuals living a simple but impactful life. Never a polished feel, but always just right, Taylor builds on the solid foundations that were given new life by Gillian Welch; perpetuated by Jeff Tweedy and set on its head by Blake Mills. The self titled EP is due out fall of 2019.
