Collapsing Stars (Minneapolis, MN, USA)

2026 Woodford Folk Fest Performer

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 the web series Forest Folk Sessions featuring intimate acoustic performances in a breathtaking natural setting. Featured on NPR’s All Songs Considered, their sophomore album “Chapter” has received international critical acclaim.
