During my internet searches earlier, I noticed there was a "wpamusic.com" site, so I clicked on it. What I thought was going to be old Lomax-esque recordings is a current band comprised of:
Audio Archivist:
Glen Phillips (Toad the Wet Sprocket) – vocals, guitar, Sean Watkins (Nickel Creek, Fiction Family) – guitar, vocals, Luke Bulla (Jerry Douglas Band, Lyle Lovett) – fiddle, vocals, guitar
Executive Board Members:
Executive Board Members:
Sara Watkins (Nickel Creek) – fiddle, vocals, Benmont Tench (Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers) – piano, organ, Greg Leisz (Joni Mitchell, Bill Frisell) – pedal steel, Pete Thomas (Elvis Costello and the Imposters) – drums, Davey Faragher (Elvis Costello and the Imposters, Cracker) – bass
Audio Archivist:
Jim Scott (Wilco, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Rolling Stones) 
Cool album cover art, eh? It is all based on old WPA posters. They are currently on tour – not in this area (figures!) but are worth checking out. I've listened to the album quite a bit and although it'd be great if there were more uptempo songs, overall it's a great listen and really enjoyable.
They have songs you can hear on the website. Read more about the band HERE.
