13th Floor MusicTalk with The Accidentals

According to Warren Zevon, in Transverse City, “life is cheap and death is free”. But when we talk to The Accidentals, who are holed up in Transverse City, Michigan, there is laughter and beautiful music on their new EP, Time Out (Session 1).

The 13th Floor’s Marty Duda spoke to Sav Buist and Kate Larson, the classically-trained musicians who comprise The Accidentals, along with drummer Michael Dause. The trio began their chat in one room, then moved downstairs for a better Wi-Fi connection. Despite that, a sneezing fit and a rather surprising visit from their dog, we managed to talk about all five songs on the EP, each of which was co-written by a special guest writer…including Kim Richey, Dar Williams, Tom Paxton, Maia Sharp and Mary Gauthier. 

There are plenty of stories behind the songs and plenty of laughter as they tell them. So check out this wonderful new music and these charming musicians.
