Pictures, moments and places are the inspiration. David Robert Callahan gives what his fingers and his voice translate. Picturesque words meet sounds and create stories.

Released in 2009 « Down the Line » already used these themes. The new album « Along the Wires » (October 19th. 2012) explores this same world and goes even further.
Recorded in a wooden house and an old wash house, this LP makes wood, water, stones, roads and buildings speak.
