Search - The Kropotkins :: Portents Of Love

The Kropotkins' music hearkens back to the timeless artistry of American roots music and North Mississippi rhythm & blues and fife and drum. The six members of the band: Lorette Velvette (vocals, guitar); Charlie Burnham (vocals, fiddle and all string instruments); Dave Soldier (vocals, fiddle and string instruments); Mark Deffenbaugh aka Dog (guitar); Alex Greene (bass drum, keyboards); and Jonathan Kane (drums) have spent years nurturing their skills as musicians, vocalists and songwriters, and all members make invaluable contributions to the ensemble. Portents of Love, produced by Bob Neuwirth and Rory Young features tunes by the group and by Texas troubadour Vince Bell, blues singers Mississippi Fred McDowell and Louise Johnson, George Gershwin, Bill Monroe, Ian & Sylvia, and Woody Guthrie.
