POSTCARD COMETS…

…are, first and foremost, songwriters. David Partridge and Robert “Buck” Wilburn are also seasoned singers, multi-instrumentalists and producers. Together, they create rootsy, song-based pop that blends acoustic, electric and electronic elements into an engaging lyric-focused listening experience.
