<span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">After growing up on the same street in Hailey, Idaho the
<b>Gus + Scout</b> lost touch only to be reunited at Brown University. Once together again, the two unearthed their lost connection through music and songwriting. Ultimately, they created
<b><i>Gus + Scout EP</i></b>, a five song collection of emotional, country-inflected folk rock tunes that highlight Gus’ sense of melodic skill as a vocalist and guitarist and Scout’s arrestingly sublime voice. Their chemistry is electric;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">
<span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Most of all, the release showcases the honest and natural ease of the duo’s songwriting. On tracks like “<b>Don’t Bother You Much</b>” and “<b>Gone,</b>
<b>Gone,</b> <b>Gone</b>,” you can hear the forlorn country influences of their heroes and heroines including Jim Reeves, Gram Parsons, Barbara Dane and Karen Dalton.
