The Milk Carton Kids in Washington

The Milk Carton Kids, an American indie folk duo from Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, bring their intricate harmonies and acoustic mastery to Washington. Comprising Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan, the duo emerged in 2011 after Ryan attended a solo performance by Pattengale. Their instrumental and vocal style has drawn comparisons to Simon and Garfunkel, blending delicate guitar work with close harmonies.

Over the years, they have released six albums, including the Grammy-nominated *The Ash & Clay* and *I Only See the Moon*. Their music has been featured on NPR's *A Prairie Home Companion* and in the documentary *Another Day/Another Time*. Tracks like "There By Your Side" have been named NPR's Song of the Day, and their live performances are known for intimate, storytelling-driven sets.

Joining them on stage are Willie Watson and Paper Wings, promising an evening of thoughtful folk music. Fans can expect a mix of material from their catalog, including songs from their latest album *I Only See the Moon*, which saw the addition of banjo to their sound.
