Event Details
Blood Harmony. Whether it’s The Beach Boys, Bee Gees or First Aid Kit, that sibling vocal blend is the secret sauce in some of the most spine-tingling moments in popular music. The Cactus Blossoms – Minneapolis-based brothers Page Burkum and Jack Torrey – offer compelling evidence that this tradition is alive and well, with a deceptively unadorned musical approach that offers “creative turns of phrase, gorgeous harmonies, and an ageless sound” (NPR All Things Considered)
Their timeless sound and songwriting have earned them tour stints with artists such as Wilco, Jenny Lewis and Lucius, and a perfectly cast performance on David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. In 2022 the band released their full-length album, One Day, and an EP, If Not For You (Bob Dylan Songs Vol. 1).
\-Two Runner is Paige Anderson and Emilie Rose. The American Roots duo from Northern California embody the hills they grew up in. Through the mediums of clawhammer banjo, flatpicking guitar, vocal harmonies, and oldtime fiddle, Two Runner puts a hip take on the Appalachian feel. Paige and Emilie are influenced by artists like Gillian Welch, Patsy Cline, Hazel Dickens, and Wilco. Paige Anderson’s alluring and soul-stirring songwriting and Emilie Rose’s tasty fiddle chops and vocal harmonies bring a vibrant perspective to the Modern Acoustic Folk world.
