Dead Fingers have released two full-length albums and toured across the U.S. and Europe. The pair recorded their debut album (“Dead Fingers”) with Bruce Watson (RL Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, AA Bondy). That album was released on Big Legal Mess/ Fat Possum Records in 2012. Dead Fingers released their sophomore album, “Big Black Dog,” in 2014. Their song “Whistling Song” was included on the recent “Friends & Family Volume One” release from Flower Moon Records.

Fans of Kate and Taylor’s other projects will enjoy Dead Fingers’ fresh, upbeat sound and quirky, poetic lyrics. Their music will appeal to fans of other singer-songwriter duos like the Civil Wars and She & Him.
