The Adirondack duo have brought their blend of modern yet classically old-timey sounds to many appreciative audiences in the Northeast and beyond.
Keanen Stark (guitar, banjo, harmonica), "is becoming a master of the old-time folk styles of Woody Guthrie. A folk singer in the truest sense, with a knack for cross-harp, his stripped down minimalist take on traditional folk music is sure to please." Orion Kribs (mandolin, guitar) "is a world class mandolin player capable of breakneck speed and nuanced solo work.” Orion also plays in the Celtic bluegrass band The McKrells and is an endorsee of Godin-Seagull guitars.

Each a capable lead vocalist, Stark and Kribs swap old-timey folk, blues, and classic americana tunes, and dabble at entertaining endless other influences and flights of fancy.

“Keanen Stark and Orion Kribs are two of the finest young blues and bluegrass musicians in the capital region, with a throwback sound, charming stage dynamics, and lightning fast licks.” - Caffe Lena
