Dani Aubert (claw-hammer banjo, bouzouki) and Ian George (guitar, mandolin) are songwriters, collectors, and interpreters. 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.
Songlines describes their sophomore album, Lady Mondegreen, as “an exquisitely harmonised treasure trove of imaginatively reinterpreted, historically significant acoustic 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, the UK and Ireland. The album was recorded live over ten days in December 2021 at their off-grid tiny house dwelling in the mountains of Oregon with additional instrumentation by players from Ireland, London, NYC, Boston, and Minneapolis.
"Fellow Pynins will transport you into their haunting and beguiling world of love tales and spine-tingling harmonies... They'll have you traveling far and wide to hear them again." — Lisa Dunn (BBC)
