Society Of Broken Souls “Trouble You No More”, 10/3/21 Byron’s Bar, Pomeroy, IA

Society of Broken Souls is the Folk Noir songwriting duo of multi-instrumentalists Dennis James and Lauryn Shapter (that’s mostly swiped from their web site). They’re from Fairfield, Iowa.
Shapter specifically asked me not to upload the night to Archive.org, based on her dissatisfaction with parts of the three sets due to the condition of her voice and a couple of missed chords. I argued valiantly that nobody would ever hear the chords (wherever they were) but until I convince her otherwise (evil grin), that’s the way it is.

She DID however acquiesce to my pleading for permission to just post a song or two on my own site, so we’ve selected the opening number, which we’d like to turn into a regular practice around here for the Pomeroy shows. This is a particularly appropriate day to do that since Facebook has been down for hours now.
