About A Good Pleasure

James Enos studied Ash Grove disseminations of flatpicking out west. He then moved to Athens and quietly joined the community. At the School of Art he met a rhythm section in scene veterans Ben Reynolds (Chickasaw Mudd Puppies) and Jon Vogt (Wild Abandon). They pulled in guitarist Stephen Ramos (The Unknown) from the College of Environment and Design, then local multi-instrumentalist Hunt Revell, and began translating singer/songwriter work into an ensemble. The music begins where Vogt’s rhythmics meets Enos’s harmonic timbre. It moves out from there. An invitation of sorts.
