527 E. Main Street
Hillsboro, Oregon 97124 - Introduction: Contemporary Folk
Fellow Pynins is an award winning contemporary folk duo with a keen and bucolic sense of vocal harmony and song craft. Wielding claw-hammer banjo, Irish bouzouki, mandolin, and acoustic guitar, the Ashland-based duo of Dani Aubert and Ian George will "transport you into their haunting and beguiling world of love tales and spine-tingling harmonies, (where) they will have you traveling far and wide to hear them again" (BBC).
Fellow Pynins embody the music they make. They travel the world with their two children collecting old songs and connecting with the generations who still sing them. Reworking traditional ballads gathered from their travels, they create a sound that can easily sit alongside the songs that comes through the pen of their own hand. Join us for this whimsical escapade, dashed with spontaneous and clever banter, mirth, and woe—you’ll probably cry and quite possibly laugh, a lot.

More about Fellow Pynins
Since 2016, Fellow Pynins has toured the U.S. continually and has gathered significant traction in the UK and Ireland, gracing festivals such as Cambridge Folk Festival, Wilderness Festival, Omagh Bluegrass Festival, and selling out portions of their most recent UK/Ireland tour.
In 2019, they were named by NPR’s Bob Boilen as one of the best Tiny Desk submissions and the same year won the Minnesota Bluegrass & Old-Time Duet Competition. In 2020/2021, the duo relocated from Minneapolis, MN back to Oregon to build (learning every step of the way) two tiny houses on wheels for their family, which they now live in.
In 2022, Fellow Pynins released their sophomore album Lady Mondegreen and showcased at the 2022 Folk Alliance International Conference in Kansas City. Lady Mondegreen, recorded live over 10 days in December 2021 in the mountains of Oregon, is an ode to their love and reverence for traditional music. All songs on the album were passed down from various individuals they met whilst traveling with their two children over a 10-month song collecting trip through Europe/UK/Ireland in their transformed camper van, “Big Blue.”
