Founded in 1998 by a poet (Alan Wolf), a writer (Tom Tracy), and an artist (Alex Alford), they take the words of dead poets and arranged them to original melodic compositions, typically sung in three-part harmony. They performed in schools and literary conferences throughout the Southeastern US for a number of years. Their first, self-titled release ("The Dead Poets," 2001) is out of print. Their second release, a 5-song EP entitled "Inspired by the moooos," is available on iTunes. They no longer tour or record, but occasionally perform a few musico-poetic tunes at local benefits or coffeehouses.
