I found these four recordings last night. Can anyone tell me anything about them? It sounds like a project demo. Is Harris playing all the instrument parts or are there other players? Who is the female singer? Help?

Hey Mishka — this is a Pitfalls demo. I’m singing with Harris and playing bass, Juliana and Harris playing fiddle (Harris traded off fiddle and mandolin, Matt on Drums and Brad Shanks on guitar. It was recorded in my basement at 347 Grand St. in Brooklyn by Rob Viola.

  1. Mish, the snare tells me that the female singer may be Juliana Trivers….although I could be wrong.

  2. I’m pretty sure that’s the Pitfalls—snare drum must be Matt. Bass may be Ben Herzog although not sure. The second cut (Footprints in the Snow) has telltale dual fiddle parts, so I’m guessing that that is Juliana, although she could confirm.

  4. Pardon horrendous grammar — new parent sleep deprivation…
