Bluesfest: Callers

My memory can't dredge up when and where I heard fulsome praise for Callers, but the New Orleans-via-Brooklyn trio has rustled up several admirers for their combination of twitching minimalist indie rock and singer Sara's vibrant pipes (which remind me a bit of Jane Siberry).

Here's Sara.
