Wayfarer speaks of repurposing old hymns and such, but they carry with them the influences of the Beach Boys and Beatles that also colored Sherwood's music. The result is highly accessible Indie Folk Rock that could well have come from the mid to late 60s, yet sounds as fresh as a morning snow. Wayfarer's interpretation of "The Holly And The Ivy" is a perfect example. They breathe more life into a musty old chestnut than I would have though possible. Grab "The Holly And The Ivy" at either Bandcamp or Noisetrade and pick up a couple of bonus tracks in the deal.
Seattle based Wayfarer began their Indie Folk rise on the ashes of Sherwood's demise earlier this year. You may or may not recall Sherwood's "Snowing In Seattle" from 2008; an excellent contribution that still garners annual spins at Stubby's house (my real house, not the web site).
