Rooted in Appalachian old-time music tradition, the duo explores the intersection of traditional music and original songwriting, bringing a fresh sound to old music through a combination of fiddle, banjo, guitar, and close vocal harmonies. Their band name comes from the traditional ballad often written as "Jack-A-Roe," famously performed by Jean Ritchie and Pete Seeger, and reflects their deep respect and reverence for traditional Appalachian music and its rich storytelling traditions.
