For Ben Garnett, the acoustic guitar is naturally cinematic. “It has this ability to build a world for other instruments to inhabit,” Garnett muses. His forthcoming album, Kite’s Keep (2025), features artfully constructed compositions brought to life by acoustic music luminaries like Darol Anger, Brittany Haas (fiddle), Ethan Jodziewicz, Paul Kowert (bass), and Chris Eldridge (guitar). “My dream was to shine a light on these pervasive, yet often overlooked, abilities of the instrument; to demonstrate that a ‘guitar record’ can actually showcase the guitar as this world-building, ensemble instrument, rather than merely a lead instrument.” Shifting its aperture from folk to bluegrass, pop to jazz, classical to avant-garde, Kite’s Keep rarely settles into any one particular genre; rather, it relishes the in-between spaces, revealing its innovations not through spectacle, but through the quiet power of storytelling in motion.

Natalie Padilla and Yann Falquet offer an intimate mix of traditional and contemporary folk music. Natalie, a gifted fiddler, singer, and songwriter, blends bluegrass, old-time, and Irish influences, while Yann, a dynamic Québécois guitarist and co-founder of French Canadian group Genticorum, brings his mastery of traditional music and innovative sound to the duo. Together, they weave intricate melodies and harmonies, both on songs and instrumental numbers creating a performance that celebrates the rich, diverse world of folk music.
