It took awhile for folk songstress and ex-Band of Horses drummer Sera Cahoone to put down the sticks and put herself front and center. Once she did, it didn't take long for her home of Seattle — and the rest of the country — to sit up and take notice. Sub Pop signed Cahoone after her impressive self-titled debut came out in 2006, and she's on tour behind her second album, a melancholy alt-country number called Only As the Day Is Long.
