Eloise & Co.
Fiddler Becky Tracy and accordionist Rachel Bell–among Vermont’s top treasures–invited Quebecoise pianist Rachel AuCoin to their ongoing Eloise & Co. party and produced
avec Elodie, a lively instrumental romp through Bal Folk, Celtic, New England, and French-Canadian traditions. The record came out in September, 2025, and ranked No. 14 the next month on the Folk Alliance International radio chart. Take a listen.
The Onlies
Devon Leger of Songlines UK put it this way: “Simply put, The Onlies are the best old-time stringband out there. I can hardly believe how amazing their new album, You Climb the Mountain sounds… This is Gen Z trad, full of spit and vinegar, eager to leave their mark on the tradition.” Listen to the September 2025 release on Bandcamp.
The Horsenecks
Mixing cowboy ballads, driving fiddle tunes, even a few lullabies and love songs, The Horsenecks (multi-instrumentalists Gabrielle Macrae and Barry Southern) take listeners on an old-time journey through the heart of American roots music. In The West launched in June 2025.
Eli West
Eli West is no longer the brilliant young musician. With two solo CDs and another three with Cahalen Morrison behind him, with The Shape of a Sway he’s become the master folk troubadour he was destined to be, and we’re all the richer for it. The recording’ dropped in July 2025.
Sarah Kate Morgan &
Leo Shannon
Fine vocals and playing from Sarah Kate Morgan (lap dulcimer) and
Leo Shannon (fiddle). Here’s what Fruit Tree’s Fresh Juice blog says: “Morgan & Shannon are indisputably delivering the good jelly aplenty, in all its down home, unplugged, warm, grainy and authentic glory.” The Kentucky duo launched the CD in October, 2025.
Rakish
While Now, O Now, Rakish’s second CD, brims with Celtic inspiration, it’s a fully American album of confident yearning, with smart lyrics, winding melodies, taut rhythms, and assuring vocals..
Open The Door For Three
Open The Door For Three (Liz Knowles on fiddle and hardanger fiddle, Kieran O’Hare on uillean pipes, and Pat Broaders on bouzouki and vocals) their archeological practice of unearthing ancient tunes and reviving them for the 21st century, with dynamic rhythms, arrangements, harmonies, and the soulful magic of their musical community.
Robin Holcomb
Robin Holcomb astonished critics and crowds in the late 80s with her unique vision of what some later would call Americana (Holcomb might argue Stephen Foster deserves that credit). Today, she has ushered that vision into the 21st century with One Way or Another, Vols. 1 and 2. The first appeared in 2022, while the final installment launches May 31, 2024.

Paper Wings
Listen to the World Spin, the Nashville-based vocal/string duo’s third album, is a marvel of vintage modernity, bringing the claw-hammered earthiness of old-time music into the 21st century. As Paper Wings, Emily Mann and Wila Frank craft devastatingly beautiful songs of solitude, loneliness, loss, and redemptive love.

Genticorum
Roots Music Canada called Genticorum‘s 2023 Au Coeur de l’Aube an “amazing and evocative album,” while Folk Alley, after praising the band’s musicianship, wrote “Each band member has a unique and beautiful singing voice… (and) has worked harder than ever on perfecting the powerfully complex contrapuntal harmonies that mark French-Canadian song.”
Laura Risk
Acclaimed Montreal-based fiddler Laura Risk‘s 2023 Traverse, is a musical journey into the heart of traditional fiddle music that resonates with nuance and vitality. Its 10 tracks draw from deep immersion into traditional musical communities, as well as a curiosity towards innovation and exploration. Laura’s distinctive sound and compelling interpretations of traditional tunes are intensely personal yet grounded in meticulous archival and ethnographic research.
Sami Braman
Known from her work with longtime Pacific Northwest string band, The Onlies, and as touring/session player for Willie Watson (David Rawlings Machine, Old Crow Medicine Show), on 2023’s Riveter, Sami Braman celebrates the fiddle with a playful journey that, over the course of 10 tracks, draws upon traditions from Appalachia to Ireland, Cape Breton to Norway, and beyond.
