Christian Letts crafts bucolic indie folk confections with a hook-laden pop center. In 2011
Letts met
Marcus Mumford while opening for
Mumford & Sons on their Railroad Revival Tour. The two became fast friends and when
Letts decided to strike out on his own he asked
Mumford to come along for the ride and handle production duties. The resulting
Hold Fast, released under the moniker
Letts, was issued in early 2015 via Community Music/Vagrant Records. ~ James Christopher Monger Monger
