A.T. and Lauren Cason were born in different parts of the Carolinas and met while studying music in college in the early 2000âsâthey have been singing and playing together ever since. The combination of their training and the roots of their Carolina Piedmont upbringing helped the couple naturally craft a unique and authentic American folk music sound thatâs as current and innovative as it is steeped in the folk, country, and blues music influences of the American South.After releasing numerous singles, an EP titled âSongs of the Folkâ and their first full-length album, âSun-Scorched Landâ, A.T. and Lauren are set to release their second LP entitled âIn the Old Kingdomâ, all of it recorded in a centuries-old converted barn in Maldon, Essex and the first Church of England parish chapel, St. Michaelâs in Woodham Walter, built in the 1500s.Their musical bond is gripping and palpable and as they tell stories alongside the tunes this connection transmits to audiences, creating a truly engaging experience. Audience members leave impressed by the songwriting and fingerstyle guitar-playing, entranced by the refined vocal harmonies, and enamored with the exceptional lyricism, but most importantly, each person leaves feeling like an old friend of the Casons and a part of the Songs of the Folk.Read about their passion for taking their music to those in distressed situations,like homeless shelters, rehab centers, and prisons through their non-profit organization, For the Folk www.forthefolknc.orgACMA Member Dennis Michael opens the show.
