	Anais Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer, "Child Ballads" Wilderland Records. US Release Date Mar. 19, 2013 Recorded with friend and collaborator Anais Mitchell. Child Ballads is a collection of traditional songs from the British Isles, named after their collector, Francis James Child. Anais and Jefferson recorded the album in early 2012 with legendary Nashville producer Gary Paczosa. Their versions have been carefully re-imagined to reflect an American sensibility as well as a deep respect for the tradition. The beautiful artwork has been created by Peter Nevins, who also made the illustrations for Mitchell's acclaimed 2010 release Hadestown.
	Eamon O'Leary and Jefferson Hamer, "The Murphy Beds" rel. 2012 (Digital Download and CD available) A collection of ten traditional song arrangements, made in collaboration with Dublin-born musician Eamon O'Leary. Harmony vocals, bouzouki, guitar, and mandolin weave a stark, beautiful tapestry on this carefully wrought album. Recorded in Brooklyn and on New York's Lower East Side. Mixed in Nashville by Erick Jaskowiak.

Artwork is hand-letterpress on heavy paper, designed and printed at Bison Bookbinding, Bellingham, WA.
