Live Music: Pushing Chain

“Pushing Chain, out of northern Minnesota, gave a wonderful performance, a perfectly timed duo of guitar and fiddle topped off with exuberant vocals that left everyone in the room grinning. Give me more like this!”
— Suzanne Cadgéne, Elmore Magazine (2015 Folk Alliance International Conference)

“We revisited a favorite from last year, Pushing Chain, and confirmed our opinion. With one guitar and one fiddle, the duo generates marvelous close harmony while unafraid to stray into dissonance. The duo’s vibe is infectious enough to be investigated by the CDC; anyone who doesn’t grin during the set must be immune to pleasure.”
— Suzanne Cadgéne, Elmore Magazine (2016 Folk Alliance International Conference)

“The two friends’ songs reverberate with country, jazz, and life up near the Canadian border.”
— Youa Vang, Minneapolis City Pages”
