ABOUT THE BAND
Darker times make for bolder and, someti
mes, brighter art.
The Ballroom Thieves - Calin “Callie” Peters (voca ls, cello), Martin Earley (guitar, vocals), and Devin Mauch (percussion, vo cals) - mine immense melodies and hypnotic hooks from personal stories on t heir 2018 EP, Paper Crown (Nettwerk Records). Under the cover of vintage ja zz-style, the five songs reflect feelings of rootlessness from four nomadic years, bouts of depression, and the ever-looming specter of political unre st hanging over the country.
Nevertheless, a noticeable glimmer of li ght always peeks through.
“Our lifestyle has shaped our perspective,” explains Martin. “We’ve toured so much that we haven’t been able to call a nywhere home. A lot of the songwriting was done from this place of simply n ot having a home base. We were the perennial guests.”
