In 2017, the pa ir took home the International Folk Music Award for Artist of the Year on t he strength of their breakout album, "Before I Go," and two years later, th ey returned with the similarly lauded "Honest," which the Associated Press hailed as “one of the best Americana albums of the year.” Their most recent self-titled album was nominated for 2024 IFMA Album of the Year by Folk Al liance International.

The band’s new stripped-down collection is the purest distillation of their sound yet, showcasing the power of the co uple’s gorgeous harmonies and intricate fretwork. The songs are timeless, r ooted in rich, character-driven storytelling, and the performances are simi larly transportive, fueled by delicately intertwined banjo, guitar, and oct ave mandolin. Though the songs were born out of a period of deep uncertaint y, the record itself is a work of profound self-assurance, one delivered by a duo whose personal and professional lives embody the limitless possibili ty of honest, organic collaboration. The new record offers more than just a husband and wife but the sound of sincerity and commitment, of patience an d gratitude, of learning to let go of expectation and revel in the simple b eauty of the moment.
