Engineered by Sean Sullivan.

Along with this new release, and his three previous instrumental collections (Fable & Fire, Witching Hour and Buried in a Cape) Marlin has produced six albums of original works of American roots music with Watchhouse, has formed the bluegrass group Mighty Poplar (with collaborators Critter Eldridge, Greg Garrison, Alex Hargreaves and Noam Pikelny) and regularly contributes instrumental performances to other artists and albums. He's recently played mandolin on recordings for Zach Bryan, Tyler Childers, Plains, Dead Tongues and Phil Cook. Marlin is also an in-demand producer, and has produced albums for artists including Mipso, Kate Rhudy, Rachel Baiman and Ismay.

Over the last decade, he has toured with all three of his projects throughout the U.S and Europe and appeared on high profile programs such CBS This Morning's Saturday Morning Sessions, NPR's Tiny Desk Concert, and headlined sold-out notable rooms including the Ryman and Red Rocks.

Rachel Baiman

Common Nation of Sorrow, Baiman's 2023 LP, was called one of “The Best Albums of the Year (So Far)” by The Boston Globe, awarded 4 stars from American Songwriter, and deemed a “Tremendously and remarkable record” by The Amp. On the heels of an album release year that saw her play move than 130 shows across the globe, Baiman has made 2024 her “Year of collaboration” with a series of A Side/B Side projects featuring some of her favorite songwriters including Pony Bradshaw, Caroline Spence, Nicholas Jamerson, and Kaia Kater. If Common Nation of Sorrow was a novel, this year's releases feel more like short stories, just long enough to make you want more.

Raised in Chicago, Baiman made her way to Nashville at 18 with the dream of being a professional fiddle player and has since released two solo records and an EP, alongside session and side-person work with Kacey Musgraves, Kevin Morby, and Molly Tuttle among many others. As a songwriter, she has garnered a reputation for her specific brand of political and personal lyricism, which Vice's Noisey described as ‘Flipping off Authority one note at a time”.
