Folk by Association at Studio 99

Studio 99
Nashua, NH

Folk By Association will bring their intricate harmonies and varied instrumentation to our stage this Sunday.

Combining elements of folk, rock, bluegrass, and world music, band members Karen Krajacic and Jill Cowen use guitar, mandolin, banjo, xylophone, and shaker on both original tunes and eclectic covers. The duo is on tour this summer celebrating the tenth anniversary of their musical collaboration.

After nearly ten years of performing as Folk By Association, Karen Krajacic and Jill Cowen have certainly traveled a long and interesting road together. The early years of developing their sound locally were followed by several years of steady touring in support of their 2003 and 2006 CD releases. They've now played hundreds of shows in 26 states, gaining a reputation for both their top-notch vocal harmonies and their grassroots approach to working as independent artists.

With intricate harmonies at the forefront, Folk By Association embraces elements of folk, roots, bluegrass, jazz, and world music, weaving these eclectic traditions together in a unique, contemporary way. The duo uses multiple acoustic instruments, switching off between the guitar and mandolin, throwing in a banjo here, a toy xylophone there. Said to be both nostalgic and modern, soothing and energizing, Folk By Association is both a throwback and a surprise.

2010 finds the duo in the planning stages of a third CD, extensively touring throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic states, organizing an acoustic series and folk festival, and making their respective homes in VT (Karen) and NJ (Jill).
