Kindred spirits Emily Mann and Wila Frank weave stories personal and universal into their songs, and a harmonic rapport shifts and shimmers like a silken banner between them. With clawbammer banjo, fiddle, and guitar, their sound is solid American folk with a modern Nashville twist. Cosmopolitan local singer-songwriter Shine Delphi opens the show.

With roots in Oregon and California respectively, Frank and Mann were raised over the turning century in rural post-back-to-the-land communities of the West Coast. Sharing an adoration for the outdoors and playing the fiddle, they became friends at music camps and festivals growing up.

Both instrumental and lyrical mavens in their own right, these two long-time friends and co-writers have formed a unique sound that echoes upon the bedrock of American folk while twisting the ear forward in moments of modern revelation. On their forthcoming album, Mountains on the Moon, they drive down the dusty backroads of troubles and triumphs with the resilience of two friends who have been through it all together.

They made their first demos as a band as young adults in 2015, which they sold on home-printed discs at various breweries, farmers markets, and house concerts along the Pacific coast. Eventually, they made their way to Nashville where they recorded their debut album Paper Wings in 2017 and sophomore album Clementine in 2019, and garnered streaming success with their heartfelt track “Troubled Soul”. After a few years apart, the duo reunited in 2024 to release their third critically acclaimed album Listen to the World Spin. 2025 brought them to venues and festivals around the US and Europe, sharing bills with folk icons such as Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams, The Milk Carton Kids, and Watchhouse among others.
