Two Fields Over (Jared Matt Greenberg and Chris Travis) return from Los Angeles and Chicago to the Bay Area to join guest artists Sherri Canon, Adam Kahn, Darin Smith, and Owen Travis, in celebrating the release of their debut album, Grains of Verse (indie-folk/rock, and Americana).

Orca Sound describes the work as, “layered harmonies and vividly thoughtful lyrics [that] infuse the album with a distinct voice and profound emotional depth, showing a rare sincerity and artistry that many seasoned musicians aspire to. Together, Greenberg and Travis have created an album that lingers, inviting you to get lost in its beautiful, reflective spaces.” Themes include family, love, struggle, mental health, beauty and darkness, with an environmental angst and sensitivity, while acknowledging the very limits of lyrical expression—has drawn comparison to Kings of Convenience, Nick Drake, Great Lake Swimmers, Iron and Wine, and the Toad the Wet Sprocket.

Two Fields Over brings together two childhood friends. Noted multi-instrumentalist Jared Matt Greenberg’s long musical career includes The Paper Sea, Charles Atlas, and Whale Fall. He was a founding member of the early ’90s San Francisco shoegaze band The Rosemarys, and has played with John Vanderslice, Primitive Painters, Dart, Sutro, An American Starlet, Carta, and others. Since 2011, Greenberg has garnered critical acclaim for his cornet and keyboard work as part of Los Angeles post-rock quintet Whale Fall and for his solo project The Paper Sea. Vocalist and guitarist Travis, also a poet and literature professor, crafted the lyrics.
