Those Rowdy Corinthians
"Those Rowdy Corinthians" (Sam Adams and Josh Compton) share their love for their roots, hymns, old-timey songs, and storytelling. Influenced by their Appalachian ancestors, they sing songs about trains, ships, love (lost or not), spiders, losing, running away, death, peace, pain, life, the wind, and God. They tell stories of thieves, disciples, and themselves as they explore their deep love for music and strive to keep the music of their ancestors alive.
Singing is loving.
