the DWeLLiNG AMoNG

The Dwelling Among is an acoustic indie folk project by Canadian native and Michigan resident Karl Bailey, guitarist from the band Ere Daybreak. This project was conceived as a way to explore a personal, musical, and lyrical space. The phrase The Dwelling Among derives from a metaphor in a Hebrew Song of Ascent (Psalm 120), evoking the experience of living among people you know (perhaps even with yourself) and finding that you are among strangers.

The Dwelling Among flavors acoustic guitar-driven songs with the lap steel (tuned DADDAD!), cuatro (Puerto Rico's national instrument!), doumbek (that's what it says!), and melodica (see, the piano lessons were not a waste!).
