Four years ago, singers/guitarists Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan made their Central Oregon debut at the Tower opening for the Punch Brothers. Thursday, November 3 at 7:30pm, presented by the Tower Theatre Foundation, they return as a Grammy-nominated duo redefining and expanding the entire folk tradition. Prepare to be impressed by a refreshing and understated evening of virtuosity and sophistication,or as Garrison Keillor says, “Absolute geniuses in close-harmony.”

In addition to a Grammy nomination for Best Folk Album, The Milk Carton Kids won Duo/Group of the Year at the Americana Music Awards in 2014. This year, they received a standing ovation for their performance at the tribute concert “The Life & Songs of Emmylou Harris,” among luminaries including Kris Kristofferson, Mavis Staples, Alison Krauss, and Harris herself. Their combination of the Everly Brothers’ vocals and the Avett Brothers’ lyricism with the sly humor of Demetri Martin is sure to delight traditionalists and newcomers alike.
