Meeting in 2012 via a chance YouTube sighting and fueled by a once-in-a-lifetime musical chemistry and friendship, Canadian-American husband-wife Roots-Folk duo Dan Frechette and Laurel Thomsen are “prodigious players with songwriting that sets them apart.” With soaring violin, diverse guitar styles, compelling storytelling, a dash of harmonica and humor, and unique vocal rapport, they deliver a dynamic, engaging, polished performance.
Based in the mountains above Santa Cruz, California, Dan and Laurel have released five albums as a duo. Their third, Between the Rain, was top ten on Canada’s Roots charts for 2016. Touted for being both "lyrically refreshing and musically diverse,” their original songwriting and composing spans the range of Roots based genres, “pondering contemporary subject matter with vintage sensibility.”

Magenta Spreen is a California-based duo created by Kristen Gradwohl and Talmon Owens. Their sound draws inspiration from iconic folk acts of the 1960s like Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and modern influences such as Kacy and Clayton.

Magenta Spreen has recently released a four song ep, including their first co-write, “Days Gone By,” which reflects on nature and the beauty of life. The duo is often inspired by their connection to each other, as heard in the song "I Love You.”
