The Milk Carton Kids are an American indie folk duo from Eagle Rock, California, United States, consisting of singer-guitarists Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan. They began making music together in early 2011 and have recorded and released six albums. Their first two albums were released free of charge online.

Sierra Hull is a seven-time IBMA Mandolin Player of the Year, two-time Grammy nominee, and
one of the most dynamic voices in bluegrass and Americana. Her latest album, A Tip Toe High
Wire, marks a bold new chapter – her first independent release – spotlighting her songwriting
and instrumental prowess. Featuring guest appearances by Béla Fleck, Tim O’Brien, and Aoife
O’Donovan, the album balances tradition with innovation.
