Bookends

Music Genre: 
Porchfest Sub Genre: 
Band Description: 

When Kristina (formerly Living In Polaroids) moved to Cambridge from New York City, she met Isaiah (also of The Takeaways) and they started playing music together. Then one day, Rosheen fell from the sky and landed in the middle of a Bookends practice session and began to play bodhrán. So they just went with it.
