Artist description Too surprising for "folk," too messy for "acoustic," too down to earth for "alternative," too complicated for "punk," too urban for "country," and more band than "singer-songwriter," the Knife & Fork Band may be fellow travelers, but they aren't about to swear allegiance to any party. Unless, of course, there's free food and good beer.
