"One for the Road:" The Giving Tree Band

Todd and Eric Fink formed the Giving Tree Band after they disbanded their first group, the jam band-oriented Stone Samadhi. Focusing on country and folk, their literate lyrics and acoustic instrumentation, and tight groove bring to mind at times the Band, Mumford & Sons or newgrass contemporaries like Crooked Still or Old Crow Medicine Show. Something about this song just appealed to us today. Here it is. enjoy.
