Stanislove

Alan Kausal and Stanislove, singer-songwriters in the folk-blues tradition blend American acoustic and pop guitar styles into intimate conversations, edgy rants, and suspiciously improbable tales. The result is our own special blend of acoustic music that pays respect to the famous American artists who influenced us and all the forgotten immigrants who came before www.rootsters.com
