Artist

Vow & Timber

Vow & Timber sings duets in two voices, a man and a woman, about a marriage told year by year: a car that smells like fries and cleats, a father moving into the back bedroom, a fight over an overdraft and the one word they agreed never to say, and a quiet table for two when the children are grown. The sound is stomp-and-clap acoustic country with fiddle and steel, verses traded and choruses sung together.

Vow & Timber is a studio project of Cedar & Mercy Records, not a touring act. The voices you hear are generated with AI; there is no singer or band behind the name. The lyrics are drafted with AI tools and reviewed and approved by a person, and every song is chosen by a person before it is released.

Coming up

  • Out

    Crumbs in the Back Seat

    A duet about the loud years of a marriage: practice running late, supper from a sack on the way to church, cleats drying in the back glass, and gladly taking the crumbs in the back seat.

  • Out

    We Still Pray Out Loud

    Two plates at the table now that the house is quiet: a husband and wife who have prayed out loud at supper for years, even through the hard year they had no words for each other.

  • Out

    His Room

    Their son loads his truck by seven and leaves home for good, and afterward a husband and wife stand in the doorway of his empty room, not ready yet to call it the guest room.

  • Out

    Bulb by Bulb

    On their first Christmas Eve with neither grown child home, a husband and wife sit on the kitchen floor twisting the bulbs of the light string from their first apartment, one at a time, and she finally tells him what she never said about the year they quit talking.

  • Out

    Hand on the Dash

    A father rides the passenger side while his fifteen-year-old learns to drive, one hand braced on the dash the way his own father rode, and the granddad at the back window lays his good hand flat against the glass.
