the sisters Von Grey in 2012 – Petra, Annika, Kathryn, Fiona. My best guess on the order, left-to-right. They have since refined their sound from country to ethereal, and Petra is not currently performing with them.

DB Rielly‘s thoughtful songwriting and prose stands up to the very packaging of his music. This album comes inside a stainless still tin. He did likewise with his prior album. He also fashioned mock postcards into albums.
