Fellow Pynins is an Ashland, Oregon based contemporary folk duo with an anchor in the balladry tradition. The award-winning duo is renowned for a keen and bucolic sense of vocal harmony and song craft. Their live performances provide a whimsically emotional escapade through the chasms of our, yes, feelings. Dashed with spontaneous and clever banter, mirth and woe, you will probably cry and quite possibly laugh, a lot. Wielding claw-hammer banjo, Irish bouzouki, mandolin, and acoustic guitar the duo sings predominantly original music as well as reworked traditional ballads gathered from their travels.
Paul McGee of Lonesome Highway called their latest album release, Lady Mondegreen, "one of the best folk albums of the year" and NPR's Bob Boilen called their 2020 Tiny Desk submission "one of the year's best performances."
