The Lowest Pair
press release: ArtLitLab welcomes back The Lowest Pair: Kendl Winter and Palmer T. Lee on Saturday, September 21, 2019 at 3pm. They are known for finely articulated songwriting and resonant harmonies, each trading duties between voices, banjos, and guitars. The band's home base is Olympia, Washington, but they have toured almost constantly since 2014, releasing five albums on Team Love Records in the interim, with a sixth soon to be released.
Tickets are $15 in advance online at https://lowestpair.bpt.me and $20 at the door. Advance ticket sales end 1 hour before the show.
Kendl Winter, born in Arkansas, moved to Olympia, Washington after high school, drawn to the evergreen forests and the lively and thriving music scene. She put three solo records out on Olympia’s indie label, K Records, and performed in nationally-touring northwest string bands before beginning The Lowest Pair in 2013 with Palmer T. Lee. Palmer built his first banjo when he was 19 from pieces he serendipitously inherited. Shortly after deciding songwriting would be the most effective and enjoyable medium for his musings, he began cutting his teeth fronting Minneapolis string bands and touring the midwest festival circuit, which is where he and Kendl first met, on the banks of the Mississippi.
press release: Wiesn In A Box, the traveling Oktoberfest experience, will be stopping in Madison this weekend. Join us at ArtLitLab Saturday, September 21, 2-7pm, and Sunday, September 22, 6-9pm, for beer and pretzels. Supported by the Goethe-Institut, they’ve combined Bauhaus style architecture with the latest Bavarian beats to bring Americans coast to coast a truly unique Oktoberfest experience.
Wiesn In A Box will be on site before three events: The Lowest Pair at Art Lit Lab on Saturday at 3pm, The 19th Amendment Reading on Saturday at 7pm, and Stephan Crump's Rosetta Trio at Art Lit Lab on Sunday at 8pm.

The Goethe-Institut USA (German Cultural Center), in cooperation and collaboration with
Hofbräuhaus America, presents “Wiesn in a Box”. Three attractively designed trailers will
stop at various venues across the US throughout the course of one year to stage unique
Oktoberfest events. Each trailer is furnished with an oven for baking pretzels and a two keg
draft beer system serving Hofbräu beer. The project is financed with funds from the
“Deutschlandjahr” campaign, (“Wunderbar Together” – Year of German-American friendship
2018/2019) a joint project financed by the German Federal Foreign Office, the Federation of
German Industries (BDI), and the Goethe-Institut with the goal of enhancing the cultural
dialogue between Germany and the United States.
