I first fell under the raw and open-hearted spell of the band Fan of Friends at one of these shows two years ago. FOF is Joshua Marcus (banjo), Joshua Newman (guitar), Harmony Thompson (violin) and sister Chelsea Thompson (cello). Marcus sings, but then, they all sing. I get a chill when Harmony&#8217;s voice reaches up cresting unevenly over the evocative refrain &#8220;Who do you think you are?&#8221; in the song &#8220;Larks Are Card Keys.&#8221; It&#8217;s a spell song, one of the most right there and real in young American folk. Marcus earnestly beckons listeners with his stripped-down banjo playing and warm, dark vocal strains. Fan I am of these friends.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u2014Thomas Devaney<br \/>\nPoet, author, A Series of Small Boxes<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A.
