Robber's Roost is a punk influenced rag-time folk band from Washington state. Speaking with us today are guitarist and vocalist Mark Paschen and banjo player and vocalist Wren Carter. They are preparing to release a new album, Sinking Ship, December 18th. It is their first self-produced album, created between tours. In this podcast we discuss their unique instrumentation, Mark's experiences hopping trains, aliens & mind control, and Wren and Mark's life living in the tour van with their two dogs, plus a bunch of other more stuff. They are incredibly kind and very cool people. Enjoy!
