Fellow Pynins - Lady Mondegreen '2022

Tracks list

       Fellow Pynins is a Portland, Oregon based award winning contemporary folk
duo with a keen and bucolic sense of vocal harmony and song craft anchored in
the balladry tradition. The duo consists of Dani Aubert (claw-hammer banjo,
bouzouki) and solo artist Ian George (guitar, mandolin).  They are songwriters,
collectors, and interpreters. Since 2016 the duo has toured the US incessantly
and has gathered significant traction in the UK/Ireland, gracing festivals such
as Cambridge Folk Festival, Wilderness Festival, Omagh Bluegrass Festival, and
selling out legs of their most recent UK/Ireland tour.  In 2019 they were named
by NPR’s Bob Boilen as one of the best Tiny Desk submissions and the same
year won the Minnesota Bluegrass & Old-Time duet competition.  In 2020/2021 the
duo relocated from Minneapolis, MN back to Oregon to build (learning every step
of the way) two tiny houses on wheels for their family, which they now live in. 
On May 20, 2022 Fellow Pynins will release their sophomore album Lady Mondegreen
while officially showcasing at the 2022 Folk Alliance International Conference
in Kansas City.  Lady Mondegreen, recorded live over 10 days in December 2021 at
their off-grid tiny house dwelling in the mountains of Oregon,  is an ode to
their love and reverence for traditional music.  All songs on the album were
learned person-to-person from various individuals they met whilst traveling with
their two children over a 10 month song collecting trip through
Europe/UK/Ireland in their transformed camper van “Big Blue.”  The
album showcases their “strong vocal harmonies” (- Smithsonian
Folkways), instrumental prowess,  and adventurous arrangements quintessential to
the Fellow Pynins rustic sound.  There is additional instrumentation on the
album from players from Ireland, London, NYC, Boston, and Minneapolis.
