We met with Dallas Ugly to record their song “Money” before their performance at ISIS Music Hall in Asheville, NC. Although they were to perform in the larger main room, we all felt that the cozy nature of the upstairs was better aesthetically and sonically for this song. It reflects some of the woes of playing music for a living. In their words "It’s ultimately a song about capitalism and being an artist in a capitalist world: You have to make a living out of your art, but as soon as you’re succeeding at that, you’re feeding into the capitalist system that will continue to make your life more difficult."

About Dallas Ugly:
After first meeting in 2012 at DePaul University, Libby Weitnauer, Eli Broxham, and Owen Burton became fast friends and began writing music together with every free moment. When graduation rolled around, the friends diverged onto three distinct paths: Weitnauer off to study classical violin performance for her graduate studies in New York City, Broxham to gig around the local bluegrass scene in Chicago, and Burton to serve in the Peace Corps in Senegal. Independent of each other's direct influence, they continued to grow as individuals and musicians, developing their own unique voices and styles.
