The Lowest Pair announces European tour for January/February
Wed 17 Sep 2025The Lowest Pair is an American folk band composed of duo Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee, known for their banjo-centric, traditional-inspired music and haunting vocals, often compared to the "Dust Bowl aesthetic".
Winter and Lee, two kindred spirits who first met on the banks of the Mississippi while touring the Midwest festival circuit. Born and raised in Arkansas, Winter found herself drawn to evergreens of the Pacific Northwest, as well as the boundless music scene of Olympia, Washington. She released solo records on Olympia-based indie label, K Records, and performed in ramblin’ folk bands and anarchic punk bands before serendipitously meeting Palmer T. Lee in 2013. Lee had built his first banjo when he was 19 from pieces he inherited and began cutting his teeth fronting Minneapolis string bands before convincing Winter that they should form a banjo duo.
Now, as The Lowest Pair, they have spent a decade performing thousands of shows across North America and the UK and have a new record planned for 2026. Along with the record a tour across Europe is confirmed, announcing today:
