Tuggin’ On My Heartstrings is the sophomore album from Caleb Keith & the Calaveras, a band based in Indianapolis, IN. Though currently based in Indianapolis, the music is informed by Caleb’s time spent living in the southeastern United States, specifically the college rock epicenter of Athens, GA. From down-and-out barstool ballads to raucous honky tonk numbers, the band delivers songs that feel simultaneously lived-in and fresh.
The album’s music highlights a love for songwriting and storytelling, with contributions of musical parts that ultimately serve the story and provide a sonic foundation for Caleb’s lyrics and melodies. Personnel on the album include Caleb Keith (vocals, rhythm guitar, and percussion), Jason Brown (bass guitar and background vocals), Joe Hodson (lead guitar and mandolin), and Kurt Wehmeier (drums and percussion). Other highlights of the album include guest appearances from musicians like Zachary Moulton (Mike and the Moonpies) on pedal steel, Jay Gonzalez (Drive-By Truckers, Possibilities, Nutria) on keys, and Mike Drassler on fiddle. The album’s 11 songs are full of vignettes and stories about working, loving, and playing hard, all honoring the tradition of classic country sounds, while pushing at the edges.
