THE ARCADIAN WILD
Video:
The Arcadian Wild began in the fall of 2013 when a few choir students from Lipscomb University in Nashville, TN met up after class to jam for the afternoon. Five years later, the band now consists of guitarist Isaac Horn, mandolinist Lincoln Mick, and fiddler Paige Park. With roots running deep in formal vocal music, and influenced by progressive bluegrass and folk artists, The Arcadian Wild explores a unique acoustic sound that is simultaneously unified and diverse, offering up songs of invitation; calls to come and see, to find refuge and rest, or to journey and wonder.
"spine-tingling harmony and silky-stringed execution"

Frances Luke Accord
When Nicholas Gunty and Brian Powers put their songs and their voices together, there is a delicate and powerful magic that commands the room to attention. The duo is known as Frances Luke Accord, and they are what NPR’s Mountain Stage calls “the definition of lean-in music.” Their soulful branch of indie-folk is orchestrated with spare and sophisticated acoustic threads woven into a lush backdrop for their intimate melodies. Rich, up-close tenor harmonies lend their timeless songwriting an urgency that honors the Simon & Garfunkel comparisons but pushes beyond into the world of progressive folk music.
Both raised in South Bend, IN, Gunty and Powers met and began performing together during their time at the University of Notre Dame. Relocating to Chicago in 2013, the duo honed their songwriting craft while releasing two more self-produced EPs, laying the groundwork for their breakthrough debut full-length, Fluke, in 2016. This immersive, philosophically rich album set them off on their first national tour.
This will be Frances Luke Accord's second visit to Riverdog and this time they will be performing with violinist Katie Van Dusen

CD Release Party: "Counting up the Cost"
There are no videos of the full band that made the recording and will appear at Riverdog, however Sam and Riley did perform one of the original songs from the record at a recent show here:
Riverdog veteran Sam Bailey has been honing his songwriting skills here at Oberlin for the last four years or so. In 2017 he took the songs that he had been writting for a project called Three Story Chicken House (who has played at Riverdog) and set about recording them in a studio near his home in Central PA. Riley Calcagno, Emma Rast and Charlie Muench came to help and the album which is just now being released will be available at the show.
"Counting up the Cost draws from country and old-time roots. Charlie, like Emma and I, grew up in Amish Country Pennsylvania. He was also a member of the band, The Stray Birds – my biggest musical influence in high school. Having Charlie was not only an honor, but an importance. By nature of his raising and his art he knew what I was trying to achieve. At its heart, the album is about growing up country. That is, with the land, with the radio, with the importance of Friday nights, with the recognition that the world I came from shaped me in a way that was particular. You might say that Oberlin's New Yorkers inspired the songs and the sound. Their presence pushed me to name what I wasn't and what I was. Counting up the Cost represents what I was; what I'll always be." -Sam Bailey
