MIPSO IS BORN FROM NORTH CAROLINA'S BROAD RANGE OF DISPARATE MUSICAL
INFLUENCES, their distinctly unique sound an undeniable alchemy of the
historical musical traditions of the rural south and their progressive
home of Chapel Hill. A discernible and rising force in the upstart
musical genre known as Americana, MIPSO'S MUSIC IS LUSH AND FORWARD
MOVING. A tender, harmony-laden river runs through the band's core,
but the rocky outcroppings change with every album outing. Appalachia
melds with modern alt-country, hints of folk-rock are leavened with a
sly and subversive sense of humor, and underneath it all is a genuine
and moving passion for the ever-evolving traditions of Americana. With
the recent release of the band's fifth album, Edges Run, MIPSO
CONTINUES THE COMPLEX DANCE OF LOOKING BACK AND MOVING FORWARD WITH
GRACE AND BEAUTY. https://www.mipsomusic.com/

England Conservatory in 2004, Bridget Kearney and Benjamin Lazar Davis
have collaborated in many settings, finding time to make music
together in between each of their busy schedules as individuals.

Dive and released her debut solo album Won't Let You Down in 2017
(Davis played bass on Kearney's album release tour). Davis released
his debut solo album Nothing Matters in 2018 (Kearney is a frequent
guest performer and co-wrote one of the tracks), he also released a
collaborative record with Joan As Police Woman is 2016, is a member of
indie folk-band Cuddle Magic, and writes, records, and performs with
