The album is going up for pre-order today over on the Bandcamp, with Departure Valley being the first glimpse into Bell’s progressive touches on the banjo. Check it out. πŸͺ•πŸͺ•πŸͺ•

@jenpkelly.bsky.social has some good search term advice. No reason to get lost in map land. Baltimore might be in Maryland. Tacoma Park is not.

But you can find the forthcoming album available for pre-order on the Bandcamp.

I saw it last year when I was visiting my parents. Had to get it! The PV was my playground for years, from the potholes of shelburne falls to the abandoned hospital in monson.

Hahaha! You know, I haven’t asked them why they spell it like that or have the title of the new album be Baltimore and have the album have nothing to do with Maryland.

I’ve been listening to this for the last hour- an amazing group of musicians that I would probably never have been exposed to and a great cause. A must add to your Bandcamp collection
