 Pharis & Jason Romero make the kind of music that endures. That's because it's built by hand to last, and made with a kind of love and care that's nearly been lost in this world. A Wanderer I'll Stay, the new album from Pharis & Jason Romero, was recorded in their home in the woods in the tiny town of Horsefly, deep in the interior of British Columbia. Pharis is a fifth-generation resident of this town, and comes from a family of musicians and mountain folks. Most of their year is spent in their workshop building banjos; the J. Romero Banjo company makes some of the most beautiful and powerful banjos on the market today. The same craftsmanship that bends them over their worktables late at night, scrutinizing their instruments down to the millimetre, is brought to their songs and songwriting. That their music sounds so natural and effortless is the surest indication of the work of masters.
