Family Band is the collaboration between husband and wife Jonny Ollsin (Children, S.T.R.E.E.T.S.) and visual artist Kim Krans, joined by Scott Hirsch (the Court & Spark, Hiss Golden Messenger). In 2008, Ollsin and Krans built a cabin in Delhi, a small upstate New York town, and met Hirsch, who helped flesh out the Family Band sound, a combination of folk-steeped ambient rock and Krans' moody alto. That year they self-released their debut EP, Blessed, returning in April 2010 with the self-released album Miller Path, followed that November by the audio-visual EP Cold Songs. Sophomore album Grace & Lies found the group signing to the No Quarter label, which released the record in July 2012. ~ Chrysta Cherrie
