Micah Ling and Molly McBride join voices on cello, fiddle, banjo, guitar  to share their love of traditional music. Old-time fiddle tunes and  close harmony singing form the gold-tinged touchstone of this duo of  friends and collaborators who have played and sung together for over a  decade. They use their experiences studying and living in the Midwest,  Newfoundland, Appalachia, and the Pacific Northwest to inform their  approach to the repertoire they love. Deeplying involved in the Michigan  folk music scene as performers, organizers, and educators, they have  produced dances, jams, concerts, and festivals around the state. With a  wealth of experience on their respective instruments and a deep  curiosity around the nuances and complex histories of the repertoire  they perform, Micah and Molly make music that feels at once cozy and  considered. They bring the grit of a crisp Michigan autumn and the  comfort of a blazing hearth to the stage with needlepoints of color,  timbre, and tempo.

Michigan artists Nick Veine and Ben Traverse are preparing to release their full-length collaborative album of Irish music, Me Grief and Tears to Smother: Traditional Songs and Ballads of the Irish Diaspora. The musical journeys of old friends Nick Veine and Earthwork Music member Ben Traverse have long been intertwined. Both calling Manistee their hometown, Nick, with his award-winning band Awesome Distraction, provided Ben with his first performing experience. The pair went on to explore different parts of the rich tapestry of American music – Nick pursuing jazz in academia and Ben digging deep into the traditions of folk music. This mutual love for music, history, and community gave rise to this new collaborative release.
