Both can be found streaming (and in some cases for purchase) on Apple Music/iTunes,
Spotify, Amazon Music, Google Play, Pandora, YouTube, Deezer, Shazam, Tidal,
Yandex, TikTok, Resso, and some services we've never even heard of!

We also have a very limited quantity of CDs, which can be ordered directly through us.
If interested, please email for more information.


CD single

Our second CD, The Valley of Darkness, includes twelve original songs, nine of which are new (following First Vintage) and three of which come from Scott's archives, and seem to be favorites of show-goers.

All songs on Valley of Darkness are performed by:
Scott Calamar, lead & backing vocals, keyboards, acoustic rhythm guitars, ukeleles (#12)
Will Bartell, pedal steel, electric, and acoustic guitars, harmonica, backing and harmony vocals
Kevin McKern, drums and percussion
Bruce McKern, bass.

We thank Jim Quinby for piano on "Center of the Universe."

Album produced by Wine Without Reason.
