Moriah's lyrics have such a tendency for honesty in its most raw and brutal form, they could truly only be written by someone whose brain is literally wired for such nerve-jarring truth. Michael Hamilton's percussion and personality provide the perfect grounding for Lawson's quirky rhythms and wild nature. With a changing cast of characters on stage, Hamilton and Lawson remain the impressive duo, weaving roots music and pop with an emphasis, always on the soul of the song.
