But across more than 15 years and something like a dozen albums\, Tenney\, Randazzo\, guitarist Morgan Burrs\, percussionist Corey Fonville\, and keyboardist DJ Harrison have managed a lane all their own. \n\n\n\nButcher Brown describe their new album\, Letters from the Atlantic\, as a travelogue up and down the East Coast: from the Chesapeake Bay to New York\, down to Florida\, and over to Europe. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBoost the signal:\n Click to share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in
