The band Crane Orchard was born of electronic fusion and acoustic guitars the layering of respective sounds by two musicians who would ultimately forge a partnership. Today, there are four bandmates, including the originals - Paul Fugazzotto the second and Nick Punch - who tour the Southeast with their unique blend of standard instruments and programmed beats, bleeps and samples. They call this blend "Folktronica". From their first full-length CD, "Spread Your Lies Wholeheartedly," this is "Please Forgive Me."
