Fresh out of Beantown comes folk group the Ballroom Thieves with their newest track, “Oars to the Sea.” Set to appear on their debut album, A Wolf In The Doorway, the song already shows a band that has experienced tremendous growth as both musicians and songwriters. “Our own personal growth and explorations in songwriting and musicianship caused us to end up in this unique spot where we can generally feel free to be who we are at all times,” said guitarist Martin Earley. Though they sound great on record, the group’s sound is also beautifully represented onstage. Be sure to catch them live (see tour dates below), find A Wolf In The Doorway when it drops on April 21st (pre-order here and here), and check out “Oars to the Sea” below.
