Formed in 2002, Two Gallants are a folk-rock duo from San Francisco, California. They took their name from a short story by James Joyce’s “Dubliners” and self-released two albums (now out-of-print) before signing to Alive Records for their “official” debut “The Throes.” In 2005, they signed with Saddle Creek Records, releasing two albums and one EP on the label.

Our featured song, “My Love Won’t Wait” comes from their fourth album “The Bloom and the Blight” which was released on September 4th, 2012. The album is their first record in five years and their first effort on Dave Matthews’ (of the Dave Matthews Band) label, ATO Records.
