Friends of SDPB presents the Prairie Songs series featuring the musical talents of South Dakota's very own The Clover Fold and Humbletown! Join us for a night of incredible music in this highly interactive and engaging concert live, in-person, at The Custer Beacon in Custer, SD on August 19.
HUMBLETOWN
Humbletown is a folk/bluegrass duo featuring Morgan Carnes on clawhammer banjo and Dylan Lewis on flatpick guitar and mandolin. The duo primarily writes their own songs in eclectic styles but also plays traditional songs, fiddle tunes, and folk and country covers. The duo prides itself on unique harmonies and vibrant traditional and improvisational instrumentals. They have shared the stage with Trout Steak Revival, Woodbelly, Charlie Parr, Jalan Crossland, and John Craigie. They have performed at Revival Music Festival and at the Telluride Bluegrass Band Competition. They also won the 2018 South Dakota Folk Off contest.
While they primarily play as a duo, they often play as a full band featuring upright bass, fiddle, and cello. The full band brings an energetic and dynamic performance, featuring awe-inspiring instrumentalists and added vocal harmonies. - humbletownband.com
THE COVER FOLD
Hailing from the collision of southeast South Dakota and southwest Minnesota, The Clover Fold is a six-piece songwriting cooperative of multi-instrumentalists whose personal tales and collective songs are forged in the lush humid heat of Midwest summers and quenched in the bleak bitter freeze of Great Plains winters. Original songs sharing unique perspectives on the age-old topics of life, love, and loss are richly layered in full harmonies while aspects of classic Americana, outlaw country, and traditional folk weave throughout. Having performed together on a number of premiere stages over the years in a complex Venn Diagram of different regional acts, this line-up fully formed in 2021 and are actively recording for eminent release. - facebook.com/thecloverfold
