Kristin Andreassen is a singer, songwriter & percussive dancer whose music honors both the playful & the profound. She's toured with some of the most respected acoustic groups around: the stringband Uncle Earl, the "folk noir” singing trio Sometymes Why,  the Appalachian clogging company Footworks, and NYC's "anti-folk" superhero Jeffrey Lewis. Her originals range from the infectious rhythms of her kids' music hit "Crayola Doesn't Make a Color for Your Eyes” to the emotive soundscape in this shadow art video made with beloved MoM instructor Anna Roberts-Gevalt. This year, Kristin released two albums. The Bright Siders’ A Mind of Your Own (Smithsonian Folkways) is a collection of children's songs about emotions, co-created with Brooklyn psychiatrist Dr. Kari Groff and a raft of guest stars.  Her second pandemic-era release was the self-titled debut from JKLOL a project featuring three Miles of Music regulars — Kristin, Jefferson Hamer & Lauren Balthrop — along with their drummer pal Lawson White. An experienced teacher & square dance caller, Kristin is a true believer in the transformative power of music camps for all ages. After studying creative writing, history and community development at Montreal’s McGill University, she is stunned to have found herself in a career where she employs all three of those skills in balance.

Lauren Balthrop is a multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter born and raised in Alabama where her family gatherings always included sing-alongs of the Everly Brothers, the Andrew Sisters, the Louvin Brothers, and the Beatles. After 10 years making her way in NYC, she heard the siren call of Nashville where she now calls home. Lauren released her debut solo album in late 2018 and is currently finishing her second. She partnered with NYC’s Blue Balloon Songwriting School to open her own music school in Nashville where she teaches the young ones to express themselves through songwriting. Her big folk-rock band and "small town" with her brother called Balthrop, Alabama toured all across the states to a cultish following. Her 60's inspired girl group, The Bandana Splits, has released two records with songs landing on shows such as HBO's 'Bored to Death'. She's also toured extensively as a multi-instrumentalist for Elizabeth & the Catapult, Kevin Morby, Michaela Anne and Ximena Sariñana. Lauren is a knitter and tap dancer too!
