The Wellspring is an American folk rock duo. Formed in 2009, the group is composed of singer-songwriters Dov Rosenblatt and Talia Osteen. Originally from New York City, the group is now based in Los Angeles.

Career

In 2011, the band toured as an opening act for Pete Yorn and Ben Kweller, who delayed Saturday night shows to accommodate Rosenblatt's Jewish faith.[1]

Their debut EP, The Wellspring EP (2011), was produced by Bill Lefler of Goudie, mixed by Greg Collins, and featured instrumentation from Steven Nistor and Dave Eggar. Later that year, they released a holiday EP entitled Keep A Light.

The band's debut album, The Girl Who Cried Sheep, was produced by Eric Rosse and released on January 13, 2014. That same month, the band appeared on the George Jones tribute album Deer Lodge George Jones with a cover of "She Thinks I Still Care". In October, the band released a third EP, Easy Tiger.
