The Grass Stain Sessions is a video series that explores the sense of human connection music and art provide. The videos feature musicians sharing two songs and telling a story.

Cinematic ballads, harrowing protests, and shoes from the roadside: Basset is full of timeless heart. Drawing on folk traditions from both sides of the pond, songwriters Yasmine Shelton and Sam Clark will take you from a beekeeper’s fields to the haunted basement of a second hand store, in a style that is all their own. Their inventiveness shines on fiddle, intricate harmonies, and Shelton’s commanding lead vocals as these earnest musicians find their way into your heart.

Stay tuned to Basset’s releases and shows by following them on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, and checking out their website.
