Hearth & Hymn

Hearth & Hymn is a close harmony, minimalist folk project produced by songwriters, song collectors and multi-instrumentalists Samantha Cooper and Elisabeth Pixley-Fink. Beloved artists in the Michigan music scene, their masterful harmonies and seamless vocal blend capture a room. Raiding family songbooks and sharing old tunes, Hearth & Hymn reimagines old songs and pens future classics through a queer, feminist lens. The pair grew up immersed in “kitchen music” and have studied old-time music and vintage vocal traditions. Their current project is Lullaby Bangers (Earthwork Music).

“Chosen sisters and harmonious headliners, they offer a soundscape of our joyful past, real and imagined. There are very few records I can replay with such frequency, at full volume." - T-Claw Crawford, John C Campbell Folk School

“Choral chiropractors…their entwined voices make you thrum like a tuning fork.” - Lynn Booth
