about

The Witherbees explore a 21st Century Songbook of new original music and choice covers. The edges are blurred, things are explored, pulled apart, and put back together.

"The musicians bring traditional jazz aplomb and an intrepid sense of musicianship to each of their efforts on the new album, and the results prove both accessible and surprising.." - WXPN's the Key

"Armbruster’s voice is hauntingly beautiful and her vocal performance impressive, so is the guitar playing of Lorenz. A surprising record with tons of variety and quality. Check this out." - Wulf Muller
