After the self-titled 2014 release of their critically acclaimed and award-winning album, northwest songwriters, Beth Whitney and Bradford Loomis, along with Beth’s husband/upright bassist, Aaron Fishburn, teamed up again with producer, Brandon Bee, to capture their unique take on some beloved hymn classics both ancient and modern. Hand Me a Hymnal spans the wide breadth from soulful, joyous gospel, to brooding Appalachian ballads; from foot stomping bluegrass to swanky R&B and makes the distance seem miniscule. With their dramatic crescendos, minimalist intensity, and intricate harmonies, The Banner Days have elicited comparisons to The Civil Wars and the Swell Season.
