Nick Panken has been singing his songs with his band Spirit Family Reunion for the better part of the past decade.  His songs are bare in structure, with lyrical content evoking the commentary of Woody Guthrie and ruminations of Leonard Cohen.  His recent solo work presents a more stripped-down approach, with material old and new furnished simply with fingerpicked electric guitar and occasional harmonica.
