Vandaveer’s third album, Dig Down Deep, is a good representation of the alt-folk genre: storytelling with a modern acoustic flair. To some, the image of the folk artist is that of a lone singer-songwriter, strumming and singing about how the times they are a changin’. But the D.C. band’s sound is bigger than that, even with its minimal arrangements… The album’s sweetest moments, though, come with the pairing of Heidinger and Rose Guerin, whose voice sounds like Emmylou Harris’s. Although the general theme of Dig Down Deep is a weary and hardscrabble life, that’s easy to overlook when the two sing.
