Forest Folk Presents: Collapsing Stars and Friends

Named a top 100 SXSW Artist by NPR Music, Twin Cities based Collapsing Stars shaped their distinctive sound touring through the American West. In recent years they have blossomed into an internationally acclaimed touring act performing on global stages. Blending folk, blues and Americana sounds with beautifully interlaced cello and vocal harmonies, comparisons range from Iron & Wine and Gregory Alan Isakov, to Nick Drake and early Bon Iver. When the pandemic shuttered music venues, they launched a web series titled Forest Folk Sessions – intimate acoustic performances in a breathtaking natural setting. In 2026, the group will tour Australia with performances at the Woodford Folk Festival and a series of "Forest Folk Presents" concerts in Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne.
