Amanda Shires has a small, beautiful voice marked by an old-time quaver that falls somewhere between that of Gillian Welch and Iris DeMent, but she spices it with charming grit. She's a talented violinist, but her real instrument is a sweet voice that will reach into your soul. Amanda Shires and Rod Picott met at the Folk Alliance Conference in Austin Tx. in 2006. Over the following 2 years they toured throughout the States and Europe playing more than 150 shows together. In the winter of 2008 they began co-writing and recording their debut duo project.

Be Brave Bold Robot is soul coughing meets the Mountain Goats meets Bob Dylan meets Tom Waits meets the Counting Crows meets Calexico meets a good friend for a beer and a Bob Wilson lecture. SingerSongwriter songs about love and grandmothers and justice and life-affirming attitudes. Lots of sweat and passion, several different key meditations, and just enough tempo changes to keep things at least mildly interesting. Be Brave Bold Robot is a joyous celebration of sinful innocense, of deliberate absentmindedness, of social obligation that tries not to think too much of itself.
