The Ballroom Thieves

The Ballroom Thieves are known for their energetic and dynamic shows, filled with soul stirring strings, electric guitars, drums, and harmonious vocals. They command a room with their vigor and passionate lyrics – calling light to the dark, cracking parts of our world.(WTBU Boston). They have a knack for inserting brief, melodic guitar riffs in between vocal passages that digest the theme. (Sound of Boston)

The newly paired-down duo are Callie Peters, vocalist, cellist and bassist, and Martin Early, vocalist and guitarist. Their latest release, Clouds, is a song cycle born of mixed experiences and fueled by the power of imagination. It’s a lush meditation on longing to return to touring – to see different sunsets and cities, and this became an opportunity for the band to mine the challenges of the past three years for creative inspiration. “We were able to step away from a lot of the big three-part harmonies and for the first time we recorded most of the album live,” says Earley. “We try to let change inspire us, even when it comes with difficulty.” The project is an artistic statement that doubles as a life mission. The Ballroom Thieves emphasize that they’ve learned to navigate complicated situations, including their struggles with depression, which often colors their songs. If they can impart anything to listeners, it’s that talking about mental health is not a weakness – and that sharing any of life’s trials can be a source of strength.
