Skribe: MANSIONS ON FIFTH

An intimate set of originals in a historic mansion in Pittsburgh? Sign me up. Garage-folk Americana from the land of pleasant living. Skribe plays an oil can called a canjo-zookie. It’s an eight-string guitar with a biting, blues-y rasp. Skribe’s got the voice (and the old-school Cadillac) to match. Accompanying himself on the suitcase-kick and hi-hat, Skribe’s “M.I.Y.” is a barn-burning roots number. - Ben Naddaff-Hafrey NPR
