Go Bang! DJs play a selection of tracks from Derek Piotr’s new album (The Devil Knows How) interspersed with appalachian ballads, folk and traditional tracks.

Derek Piotr interprets traditional ballads and folk tunes, culled primarily from the repertoire of his honorary new family (Lena Bare Turbyfill and her kin). The result is stripped-down old-time lifted up by its roots.
