Gee Whiz but this is a Lonesome Town: Moriarty

Moriarty takes its cue from the worlds of Depression-era American folk and European cabaret. This stripped-back ensemble comprises four men on various acoustic instruments, fronted by the haunting vocals of the enigmatic Rosemary. Also singing in English and with a sound that’s been variously described as early Neil Young, folk, country, blues, jazz and even Americana, the one absolute of this mysterious group is that their sound is irresistible. It’s rather hard to believe this band originate from France!
