BUY TICKETSOctober 18 @ 8:00 pm
Founded in 2011, The Milk Carton Kids — Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale — swiftly emerged as a major force in the American folk tradition, blending ethereal harmonies and intricate musicianship with a uniquely powerful brand of contemporary songcraft. Their 2013 debut The Ash & Clay marked their national breakthrough, earning them their first Grammy Award nomination for Best Folk Album. Another Grammy nomination followed in 2015 for Best American Roots Performance with “”The City of Our Lady”” from their acclaimed third studio album, Monterey, and their 2018 album All The Things That I Did and All The Things That I Didn’t Do received a Grammy nomination for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. Their most recent album, 2019’s The Only Ones, garnered extensive praise, with Rolling Stone highlighting that “”Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan get back to the beautiful basics with The Only Ones,”” while NPR’s “”World Café”” noted that “”even though Joey and Kenneth are not related, their voices together create a sibling-like harmony…the duo has a strong sense of respect and reverence for the musical traditions that they’ve grown from.
The Milk Carton Kids were nominated for “”Best Folk Album”” for their new record I Only See The Moon at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards. This marked the group’s fourth Grammy nomination.
I Only See The Moon is out now to critical acclaim on Far Cry Records in partnership with Thirty Tigers.
“”Both of us have now lived enough life to understand that maybe one of the purposes we were put on Earth for is to sing together, to write songs together, to make music together,”” notes guitarist/vocalist Kenneth Pattengale. “”It has truly provided a direction for our lives.”” Ryan adds, “”It’s like a successful marriage in that there’s always been enough there between us collaboratively in the way that we work together, sing together, play together. It’s a very special thing. And I don’t think we ever took that for granted.”
Supporting Act: Michaela Anne
Michaela Anne’s music resembles the diversity of her upbringing and evokes the ever-changing landscape of life she witnessed first-hand as a traveling child of the military. Her songs weave stories of the hardships and pleasures in life – blending singer-songwriter, americana and folk with heartfelt lyrics and a powerful vocal delivery.
The freedom Michaela sings of isn’t the wild freedom of youth or rebellion, but rather the spiritual freedom that comes from learning to accept what is rather than what ought to be, from learning to appreciate what you have rather than what you want, from learning to look in the
mirror and love the person staring back.
