Mike and Isak have a decades-long musical dialogue of fiddle and banjo, guitar and harmonica, ranging from Appalachian old-time into improvisation and original compositions.

Based in Southwest Virginia, both are co-founders of the Black Twig Pickers, a band that also includes Nathan Bowles and Leveller’s own Sally Anne Morgan, and which in nearly a quarter-century of activity has released many albums and toured widely.

Mike and Isak also play together in Eight Point Star, in a new quartet with cellist Kaily Schenker (Solar Hex) and guitarist Jordan Perry, and in other combinations. Mike’s “Evening Measures” album, a collection of hardanger-style and octave fiddle performances, came out on Vhf Records recently and he is just back from a run of solo shows in England and Belgium.

The format for this will be different from our other shows in that we will be doing it during normal business hours.
