tight knit

welcome to the vetiverse. somewhere right in the middle of the beginning and ending of folk music where the sand streams both ways from the past to the future. from the future to the past. in a place where the two streams are so intermingled, so inseparable that they actually become indistinct. time slides sideways away from the hourglass and a a whole new space is created. it's called "the vetiverse". the vetiverse is populated by vetiver, an american folk band headed by songwriter andy cabic and often joined by devendra banhart, cellist alissa anderson, drummer otto hauser, violinist carmen biggers, guitarists kevin barker and sanders trippe, as well as bassist brent dunn.
