Episode 25: The Portrait

Aug 28, 2015

More than eighty years ago, a North Carolina family of nine posed for a Christmas portrait. Two weeks later, all but one of them had been shot dead. (See the portrait here.) 

Thanks to Elephant Micah and Sarah Bryan for collaborating with us this month. Download Elephant Micah's version of "Lawson Family" on iTunes or Bandcamp, and see them perform it live (along with their version of "Pearl Bryan") when they go on tour this September.
