“Seamless vocal harmonies, stories of sea voyages,
betrayal and desolation.”
THE OBSERVER
“Think Simon & Garfunkel lost at sea
and you get a sense of the mythic world at play here.”
THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER
MADMEN CROSS THE WATER is a comedy-fiction podcast following the exploits of Sons of Town Hall, the Transatlantic folk duo with a mythical origin story. Hosted by a modern day superfan, it unfolds as a music history deep dive charting the pair’s misadventures as they travel the world armed only with their relentless optimism, mesmerizing harmonies and weather-beaten guitars. With witty writing, cinematic production, and a beautiful original score, it is a must-listen for fans of indie folk music and off-kilter storytelling. Think: Dolly Parton’s America if it shared a tour bus with Welcome to Nightvale and Iron & Wine.
