The Lowest Pair

On September 21 at 3pm, ArtLitLab welcomes back The Lowest Pair, Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee, known for finely articulated songwriting and resonant harmonies, each trading duties between voices, banjos, and guitars. Tickets $15 in advance and $20 at the door. $5 student discount with valid school ID.

The Lowest Pair is Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee. Kendl comes from Arkansas, but she found her way to the Pacific Northwest after high school. The evergreens and damp air of Olympia, Washington, and the boundless music scene, had equal draw. She released three solo records on Olympias indie label, K Records, and performed in ramblin folk bands and anarchic punk bands before starting The Lowest Pair in 2013 with Palmer T. Lee. Palmer built his first banjo when he was 19 from pieces he serendipitously inherited. Shortly after deciding songwriting would be the most effective and enjoyable medium for his musings, he began cutting his teeth fronting Minneapolis string bands and touring the Midwest festival circuit, which is where he and Kendl first met, on the banks of the Mississippi. Over the next five years, they recorded and released four albums of original songs and one covers album, named I Reckon Im Fixin On Kickin Round To Pick A Little, Vol. 1. They toured the U.S., or rather, they tour the U.S., in their own version of The Never Ending Tour, racking up over 500 shows, from Bellingham, Washington to Bangor, Maine, from The Shetland Islands to The Bell Inn in Bath. A new album from the duo is coming soon
