Stone & Snow – Midwest Made

Sunday, Aug. 04 | 7:00pm ET (6:00pm CT)

2023 Acorn Singer-Songwriter Competition 1st Runner-Up artists Stone & Snow return to The Acorn bringing their close, soulful harmonies and thoughtful lyrics to the Midwest Made summer concert series.

About the Artists:

Named “Best Folk/Soul Artist” at the 2022 Richmond International Film + Music Festival, Stone & Snow is an Americana pairing of songwriters and multi-instrumentalists, Karen Bridges and Clint Thomson. In 2012, they began a collaboration filled with close harmonies and thoughtful lyrics and gave it a name that gives a nod to the mountain landscapes of the West– Stone & Snow. 

Delicate and Wild (2023) was recorded with Grammy-nominated producer David Mayfield. Delicate and Wild’s lead single “Moonrise” is a beautifully simple, yet haunting love song to the moon, while “Cruel” (named a top entry in the 2020 NPR Tiny Desk Contest) acts as a soulful response of “oh yes, I know” to the phrase “it’s not you, it’s me”. The album also includes the hopeful hook “we’re gonna be alright” on “Wait”, the last song they would write before the pandemic hit, as well as an honest look back on the years of a marriage that collapsed during that time with “The Hardest Part of Loving You.” Stone & Snow has self-produced and released five studio albums to-date: Delicate and Wild (2023), We Were Made For These Times (2021), Love is a Weapon (2019), Devil That I Know (2016), and These are the Hills (2014).

Karen and Clint are passionate about elevating women in music. Through hosting performances for women artists, their work collecting data on the gender balance in their local scene, and Karen’s involvement in the “Girls Rock!” franchise, Stone & Snow is invested in seeing more women grow and thrive in the music industry. 

“The band’s multi-genre sound pulls from folk, indie rock, swing and soul — somehow stitching it all together seamlessly…” –Elle Mannion, NPR Music

“Their rich vocal harmonies and warm vibe will leave you wanting to see more from this [Cincinnati]-based duo.” —American Songwriter Magazine

“If Florence + the Machine made folk music, it might sound a little like Stone & Snow.” –Katie Anastas, NPR Music
