It garners an A rating.”  The release was also among Hit Tracks Top 100's Top 5 Most Recommended Albums. The duo of Bradford Loomis (guitar, vocals) and Beth Whitney (ukelele, vocals) began as a casual co-writing experiment.  From the first time they played together, along with Beth’s husband/collaborator, Aaron Fishburn, the chemistry has been powerful. The combination of Beth’s delicate, pure, and melodious voice and Bradford’s soulful, growling tone makes for a beautifully heart wrenching harmonious blend. With equal parts sweetly anthemic, pop tinged folk, provided by Beth, and Bradford’s gritty, passionate Americana Roots sound, The Banner Days is an intrepid step for both artists.  For more information, visit http://www.thebannerdays.com.
