Born Heller are the Earthen folk duo of Josephine Foster and Jason Ajemian and one of the better kept secrets to emerge out of Chicago's campfires and music dens. Their sound captures an appalachian transatlantic folk tradition so effortlessly that if it didn't already exist, they would have had to invent it themselves. Foster's spine tingling vocal delivery has been rightly compared to the likes of British folk legend Shirley Collins.
