Acoustic guitarist and multi-instrumentalist David McKindley-Ward teams up with Letitia VanSant at An die Musik Live to back vocal harmonies with relaxed yet intricate acoustic arrangements!

David and Letitia met when they were roommates in a group house of musicians, and they have collaborated ever since, traveling across the US and UK. With this album they strip back from the full band to share their organic sound, just two voices and two guitars.

David McKindley-Ward grew up steeped in folk music, belting along to Stan Rogers from the back of a station wagon and falling asleep at night to old mining songs as lullabies. He followed his passion into the world of traditional and roots Americana music, making a name for himself especially as an Irish guitarist.

Letitia VanSant’s lyrics trace questions about why the world is the way it is into the human soul. With sparse indie folk arrangements fortifying a distinctly intimate vocal style, her stage presence is down-to-earth and immediate. Paste Magazine named her among 10 Artists to Watch in 2020, and BBC Radio says she is “a fascinating new artist.” Her songwriting has earned several awards, including the Kerrville New Folk Songwriting Competition.
