Doomed Pioneers @ Alluvial

Doomed Pioneers is an Ames-based vocal and guitar duo who dip in and out of their favorite genres from Bossa Nova to folk. The name Doomed Pioneers stems from the field of geology where it describes small critters living at the bottom of a shallow ocean who are unwillingly transported to the deep by mud-slides. In this new and strange environment they become pioneers, and because most of them will not succeed they are doomed. Deanna, an Arkansas transplant, and Jacqueline, from Switzerland, can relate and think making music is a pretty good way to find joy wherever life sweeps you.
