The Great Republic of Rough and Ready

in

The Great Republic of Rough and Ready has performed at Puppet Playlist.

The Great Republic of Rough and Ready are Elissa Spencer (vocals) and Samuel Stein (guitar). Together, they reexamine the traditions of country, folk, and blues in a unique style that is at once an offering of respect, an act of conservation, and an insightful critique. The sound is lonesome, quiet and incisive. It delights in small silences. In 2009 they were featured in New York City’s River To River and CMJ festivals, and have been commissioned to write and perform music for dance at Dance Theater Workshop, The Joyce Soho and Judson Memorial Church. After hand-stitching sleeves for their debut self-titled EP, Lau derette Recordings released the group’s first 7-inch record, "The Angel of Death" in June, 2010.
