Mipso
Since making their acclaimed debut with 2013’s Dark Holler Pop, North Carolina-bred four-piece band Mipso has captivated audiences. With their finely layered vocal harmonies, graceful fluency in the timeless musical traditions of their home state, they have a near-telepathic musical connection that makes their live shows especially kinetic.
On their self-titled sixth album and Rounder Records debut, fiddle player Libby Rodenbough, mandolinist Jacob Sharp, guitarist Joseph Terrell, and bassist Wood Robinson share their most sonically adventurous and lyrically rich work to date, each moment charged with the tension between textural effervescence and an underlying despair about the modern world.
LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST
Shay Martin Lovette
The tale of wayfaring songwriter Shay Martin Lovette is shaped by an enduring creative pursuit, an inseparable connection with the natural world, and a deep appreciation of the nonpareil musical voices of the past. His latest recording, Scatter & Gather, is a collection of songs that signal an undeniable shift in the gravity of his writing and arranging. Written mostly from a remote, creekside cabin in the years following the tragic passing of his brother and musical collaborator, these songs solidify Lovette’s role as a versatile harmonica-wielding wordsmith, effortlessly drifting between the formulas of folk, indie, and homestyle roots music.
Lovette’s songcraft has earned him performances at major music festivals like Merlefest and Bristol Rhythm & Roots, and elicited high praise from public radio powerhouse WNCW and global music blogs such as Songpickr and New Commute.
