“Their voices carry the songs with truth and authenticity, and their guitar accompaniments and haunting harmonies get you where you live.”  

• Michael Kline — guitar, banjo, vocals
• Carrie Kline — guitar, vocals
• Joe Blumenthal — acoustic bass
• Jim Armenti — mandolin

Michael & Carrie Kline are folklorists who bring their country-harmonies to coal mining songs, gospel songs, and front porch music.  They weave together songs and stories, evoking the times that really matter . . .  all wrapped in a patchwork quilt of vivid imagery.   These are kitchen songs. You can smell the biscuits baking!

Joe Blumenthal has been playing bass in a variety of bands over the past 40 years, specializing in folk music of the Balkans & Middle East.  These include Klezamir, Orkestar Banitsa, and Zay-Tunes, and Ragged Blue.  He is the founder of Northampton’s ukulele club, AEIOUkes.  He is the founder and former owner of Downtown Sounds music store.

Jim Armenti performs regularly with the Lonesome Brothers, Klezamir, & the Young at Heart Chorus. When he is not teaching or playing music, he is writing poetry and songs.
