05.18.10WMC Fest Preview: SaintsenecaSaintseneca 5:30 pm - 6:00 pm Saturday, May 22nd Parish Hall, WMC Fest When it comes to up and coming local gems, it doesn't get much better than Columbus's foot stompin' folk foursome Saintseneca. With upbeat Appalachian tunes that shake you down to your toes, the sounds of Saintseneca are guaranteed to hang around with you for a while after they end.

Eliot playing "Hail Mary" off of Introverted Romance in our Troubled Minds which you want to buy here, but is unfortunately sold out for now.
