The Singing Farmers

See a video of us talking about farming and playing in our band, Sassafrass Stomp in this article by the Bangor Daily News.

UNITY, Maine — In the yellow-painted music room of their sunlit farmhouse, Johanna Davis and Adam Nordell changed their shoes, pulled out their fiddle and guitar and began to play and sing a toe-tapping song about working hard on the farm with the help of the one you love.

Talk about art imitating life. Davis and Nordell, the musicians behind the popular folk music act “Sassafras Stomp,” spent the last few months playing at contra dances, house concerts and other venues all over the country. But when spring comes, they will turn their focus to Songbird Farm, where they grow organic dry beans, grains, flint corn and vegetables on 13 or so acres in cultivation on the Stevens Road in Unity.
