�Every Mother's Dream, is an Asheville-based folk-pop group that has only gotten better since debuting in 2001. Jay Kaiser and Mandy Carter work wonderfully together, and have long been one of the area's best-kept musical secrets. Now using a full-band format that incorporates jazzy, funky, jammy elements and fills out the duo's music, EMD is definitely worth a listen.�
