Tour stop audio transcript

Our name refers to one of the earliest methods of audio recording. A stylus would cut a vertical groove of varying depths into a wax cylinder phonograph record, known as the “hill & dale” process. With the emergence of the first home musical appliances of the early 20th century — like the Victor Victrola, the Berliner gramophone, Edison’s phonograph and radio — it became possible for the first time to hear music in your own home; and dance to it. We draw our inspiration from the golden age of recorded sound, and all the musical Americana that was left behind.
