The Swallowtails at Waldo Folk

On Wednesday, September 10th, The Swallowtails will showcase their poignant, genre-bending songwriting in the Tap Room at Waldo Pizza. Doors open at 5:30 pm, and the show starts at 7:00 pm.

Voted 2024's Best Local Band by The Pitch!

The Swallowtails are a genre-bending acoustic duo that fuses rock, pop, and folk genres by-way of their unique instrumentation. Featuring Miki P on acoustic guitar/vocals, and Rachel Lovelace on bassoon/vocals, the songwriting duo from Kansas City is making waves throughout the Midwest and beyond. Established in 2018, they have released 2 full-length albums of original music: Right Where We Are (2020) & The World Still Spins (2023). In November of 2024, the band won “Best Local Band” in the Kansas City magazine The Pitch. The Swallowtails latest release is an EP named Lucky Penny (2024), marking the beginning of a new musical direction for the duo as co-songwriters. NPR’s 90.9 The Bridge says about the EP, “A lovely confluence of pastoral folk and baroque pop, these songs evoke the understated but poignant movements that we all encounter throughout life – in celebration, struggle, regrets and realizations.” Miki’s rhythmic guitar paired with Rachel’s soaring melodies creates an endearing and charismatic stage presence. The Swallowtails are redefining what a live music experience can encompass.

The Swallowtails are incredible, and we are thrilled to have them at Waldo Folk!

The two-hour show will start at 7:00 PM and doors will open at 5:30 PM on Wednesday, September 10th, in the Tap Room at Waldo Pizza.
