World-renowned multi-instrumentalists and vocalists, the duo shares a deep reverence for the history and storytelling behind their craft.

The duo served as artists-in-residence at Symphony Space in New York City for the 2024-25 season and recently released their self-titled debut album. Paxton is a Smithsonian Folkways recording artist and former artistic director of the Port Townsend Acoustic Blues Festival. Lichtman, a master of the clarinet, mandolin, and fiddle, boasts credits ranging from David Byrne and Pokey LaFarge to HBO’s Succession.
