Glenn Jones and Liam Grant, R&D with "Gardance", yours are the only ears, middie

Liam Grant is a New England guitarist with a punk ethos, cut from the American Primitive cloth. The restless guitar explorations, modal epics, and driving uptempo rags recall the likes of Grant's pedagogue; Takoma Records, and the path that was paved by his forebears John Fahey, Robbie Basho, Peter Walker, Max Ochs, and later, Glenn Jones, Steffen Basho-Junghans, Jack Rose, and others.

Influenced by conversations about queer ecology and R&D’s sonic improvisation, this piece was choreographed by Campbell Ives and performed by Caroline Alter, Charline Davis-Alicea and Hannah Berry. yours are the only ears is the indie folk project of songwriter and artist Susannah Cutler.
