Kenan Serenbetz creates music that draws on folk and sacred music traditions to contemplate a theology of the natural world. Bringing together knowledge of native ecology and plant medicine, his music interprets and expresses the need for right relationship with the land and the beings that we live with. His music is rooted in pre-industrial vocal traditions, having most notably studied plainchant (with Marcel Pérès of Ensemble Organum), Okinawan sanshin, and American shape note music.

Tommy Boynton is a singer, composer, and multi-instrumentalist, residing in St Paul, MN. Tommy has been an active collaborator in the Midwest music scene, and an international touring musician with The Four Freshmen, The Mimzees (original song cycles by Tommy), The River Monks, Extravision, Field Division, and much more. He recently stepped away from his teaching position at the School for Music Vocations at Southwestern Community College in Creston, IA, to step back into his community and touring.
As an artist and educator, he is grateful for the paths that have allowed him to stay actively creative and exploring while seeking to welcome all in experiencing and enjoying music free of judgment and shame.
