With heartflet harmonies and songs that smolder, Wren + Wilde captivates with their signature smoke folk sound. The Minnesota folk band is anchored by leading ladies Hilary Yoder and Beth Olivares, whose voices weave together like a homespun tapestry. Their gritty flavor of Americana is both raw and resonant, with equal parts fire and feeling. Known for their reflective songwriting and disarming storytelling, Wren + Wilde invites listeners into an intimate space—where each song feels like a conversation, and lyrics linger like glowing embers, long after the last note fades.

Minnesota singer/songwriter Doyle Turner releases his highly anticipated new album Paper Maps. Raised on the White Earth Reservation and based in Bemidji, Doyle has been making a name for himself these last few years as a solo songwriter and as a member of the Americana band the International Treasures, who were nominated for 2 Midwest Country Music Awards last year. This new album confirms that Doyle is an exceptional songwriter who is not afraid to explore the backroads and inner workings of the heart.
