2024-10-17 20:00 - 22:00 | Cloud Tree Art Studios & Gallery, 3411 East 5TH St, Austin, Texas, 78702, United States
Lost Patterns is an American roots duo based in Austin, TX, featuring songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Beth Chrisman and Silas Lowe. They bring an earthy grit to the lonesome, lowdown backroads of acoustic Americana, that is always moving and evocative.

Chrisman and Lowe have been sharing stages together since 2006 when they met during a bluegrass jam at a BBQ joint. The duo plays songs culled from the depths of the American musical tradition as well as writing new classics shaped by those musical landscapes.

As a member of the Carper Family and High Plains Jamboree, Chrisman has performed at Merlefest, A Prairie Home Companion, Augusta Heritage, and Mountain Stage. She is an in-demand side player as well, with notable performances alongside Bobby Bare, Alice Gerrard, John C. Reilly, and Willi Carlisle.

Lowe was a member of the Atomic Duo and has performed at the Kennedy Center, the Winnipeg Folk Festival, the Vancouver Folk Festival, the John Hartford Memorial Festival. His songs have been covered by numerous bands, and recently a song he co-wrote with Brennen Leigh was featured on the Grand Ole Opry.

Up Around The Sun — an instrumental duo combining traditional clawhammer banjo with unique accompaniment on an open-tuned guitar. Occasionally we’re joined by one of our friends on this or that. Jerry Hagins and Tim Kerr. UAtS will be joined by Bosco, a Japanese fiddler visiting the States.
