Sam Amidon is a singer and multi-instrumentalist (banjo, guitar, fiddle), originally from Vermont. He has released seven acclaimed solo albums on Bedroom Community and Nonesuch Records, the most recent of which is 2020's Sam Amidon. Amidon's material for these albums often consists of adventurous reworkings of traditional American ballads, hymns and work songs, with the New York Times writing that Amidon "transforms all of the songs, changing their colours and loading them with trapdoors."
Allison de Groot & Tatiana Hargreaves have been described as “one living, breathing organism” (Bandcamp Daily), with their music “transform[ing] the listener to a different plane” (No Depression). Their sound together captivates listeners through intricate and interactive dynamics between the banjo and the fiddle.
