Lyrics:
The Staves came into my life via the musical VW road trip, Austin To Boston. They are a force of nature, harmonically potent.

Austin To Boston Trailer from Monoduo Films on Vimeo.
Austin to Boston has so far introduced me to Ben Howard, Ben Lovett, the Staves, and Nathaniel Rateliff. If you have not watched this incredible film, please remedy this immediately. Your ears and heart will thank you over and over and over again.
5 old VW camper vans. 4 bands. 3 thousand miles. 2 weeks. 1 gloriously backward tour. The adventure starts after a fire-fuelled final night at Austin’s SXSW Music Festival, where the bands (Ben Howard, The Staves, Nathaniel Rateliff, Bear’s Den) pile into their rides and head northeast. They play everywhere from bars to barns, rooms to rooftops, packing out tiny venues, and wowing crowds with their unique sounds.
But heavy rainstorms, multiple breakdowns, and cramped conditions remind them that to push through sometimes you need to pull together. Featuring Mumford & Sons’ Ben Lovett and narrated by Gill Landry this documentary is about a modern tour, done the old fashioned way.
