Songs of the Folk in Concert! Dennis Michael Opens

A.T. and Lauren Cason were born in different parts of the Carolinas and met while studying music in college in the early 2000’s—they have been singing and playing together ever since. The combination of their training and the roots of their Carolina Piedmont upbringing helped the couple naturally craft a unique and authentic American folk music sound that’s as current and innovative as it is steeped in the folk, country, and blues music influences of the American South.
After releasing numerous singles, an EP titled “Songs of the Folk” and their first full-length album, “Sun-Scorched Land”, A.T. and Lauren are set to release their second LP entitled “In the Old Kingdom”, all of it recorded in a centuries-old converted barn in Maldon, Essex and the first Church of England parish chapel, St. Michael’s in Woodham Walter, built in the 1500s.
Their musical bond is gripping and palpable and as they tell stories alongside the tunes this connection transmits to audiences, creating a truly engaging experience. Audience members leave impressed by the songwriting and fingerstyle guitar-playing, entranced by the refined vocal harmonies, and enamored with the exceptional lyricism, but most importantly, each person leaves feeling like an old friend of the Casons and a part of the Songs of the Folk.
