A super group comprised of Jordan'O Jordan, Onyx of Olympia, and Miss Spindleheart. Formed during a tour of New Zealand, their onstage chemistry and rich harmonies won over audiences everywhere they went.

Now back in the states as Polka Dot Dot Dot, the only question that remains is are there 3 polka dots, or does the polka go on forever? You decide.

Love Letter to New Zealand

($10 CD)

Their blend of banjo/harp/ukulele/guitar/clapgame music draws heavily from American folk, but finds inspiration in everything from Medieval rounds to ghost-lover ballads.

Birds, creaking wood floors, stairs, rainstorms, all find their place in this album beside a pocket orchestra of hand claps, shakers, and folk instruments.

Folk music is a simple idea. People with something to say using the instruments available them to say it. In doing so, Love Letter to New Zealand demonstrates why folk music has been around for so long.
