The Oregon-based duo, Fellow Pynins (pronounced Pie-nins), is an award-winning, contemporary, transatlantic folk duo with a keen and bucolic sense of vocal harmony and song craft. Their live performances are a whimsically emotional escapade, dashed with spontaneous and clever banter, mirth, and woe. You will probably cry and quite possibly laugh, a lot. Wielding claw-hammer banjo, Irish bouzouki, mandolin, and acoustic guitar the duo sings predominantly original music. To this they add traditional ballads gathered while traveling and connecting with the generations who still sing them. Reworking the old ballads, they create a sound that can easily sit alongside the music that comes through the pens of their own hands. This is the band that you never knew you needed in your life. Soak in their stories and songs and as Lisa Dunn from BBC says, let the music "transport you into their haunting and beguiling world of love tales and spine-tingling harmonies... They will have you traveling far and wide to hear them again."
Their last album, Lady Mondegreen, was an album of traditional songs learned from various individuals they met while traveling. They spent 10-months with their two children in a transformed camper van collecting songs throughout Europe/UK/Ireland. The album showcases their “strong vocal harmonies” (Smithsonian Folkways), and adventurous arrangements quintessential to the Fellow Pynins rustic sound.
They have graced stages at festivals including the Cambridge Folk Festival, and sold out multiple venues on their recent UK/Ireland/US tour. "Endearing whimsy, down-home charm, goose-bump harmonies, persuasive musicality and some cracking tunes. What's not to like?" – Colin Irwin, Mojo Music Magazine. “Folk Music with a hefty touch of whimsy” – Bob Boilen (NPR).
