The cult-favorite-folk songwriter Dan Reeder performs alongside his angelic-voiced daughter, Peggy Reeder, whose voice has brought a fresh spark to his sound in their live shows these past two years.

In Fall 2024, Reeder shared Smithereens, an album of sharp-witted, deeply human songs that reaffirmed his reputation as one of folk’s most original voices. After two sold-out nights in Nashville during AmericanaFest, he and Peggy embarked on a sold-out West Coast tour that spring.

Last summer’s spotlight came at the Newport Folk Festival, where Reeder and Peggy joined Jack Antonoff for a surprise appearance during his Ally Coalition Talent Show set. Their heartfelt rendition of “Maybe” also featured a chorus of special guests including Waxahatchee and Weyes Blood, adding a collaborative moment to an already star-studded evening. That guest-filled set also included unforgettable appearances by Hayley Williams, Jeff Tweedy, Rufus Wainwright, Maren Morris, and more—placing Reeder squarely in the company of some of folk and indie’s most revered artists.

Signed personally by the late John Prine, Reeder remains the longest-running artist on Oh Boy Records, the legendary label Prine founded. With a fan base that includes Phoebe Bridgers, Maya Hawke, Paul Mescal, Stephen Colbert, and others, his influence quietly extends across generations of artists and songwriters.

With his debut album Falling in Place, Isaac Stalling joins a robust lineage of side-people who, after quietly penning their own songs, have stepped into the light. Born in Munster, IN, Stalling’s nomadic childhood took his family to Chicago, Buffalo, and finally, Oklahoma City. His songs bear the influence of his parents’ artistic intersectionality, his father a professor of poetry and linguistics, his mother a sculptor, painter, and dancer. Once the family landed in OKC, Stalling first picked up the guitar at age 12, a self-described “jazz kid,” cutting his teeth playing at churches. By his junior year of high school, he would begin touring nationally with Americana and gospel bands, his first experiences as a side person.

Falling in Place was recorded during his first year as a New Yorker, co-produced by frequent collaborator Sam Skinner (of Pinegrove), with contributions from an ensemble of friends, new and old, who have punctuated this chapter of his life. Combining his roots of Americana and folk with studied jazz and rock sensibilities, Falling in Place feels both classic and singular, a sound Stalling has pioneered through years of touring. As he finally steps into a songwriter and producer role, he hopes not only to explore his solo project, but to write and produce other artists as well.
