2013 Sampler Preview: Stagbriar - Tom

“Tom” is a talking blues murder ballad. It’s a song type pulled from another time, dusted off and recreated by the brother sister duo of Alex and Emily McCollum that make up Stagbriar along with Brandon Edwards on drums.

As we sat on leather couches in front of the fireplace in the back of Speakeasy, chatting over a couple of beers, Alex, Emily, and Brandon talked openly and freely about their music upbringing, the darkness of their upcoming full length album, and what it’s like to not only play music with a sibling, but how they’ve opened up and become comfortable writing music together.
