Kendl Winter grew up in Arkansas, but fell in love with the northwest even before she moved there after high school. When she is not on the road touring her music or exploring some trail, she is home in Olympia, WA.  Her musical adventures have traversed from finger picking to electric guitars to old-time roots and bluegrass banjo, and back again; with her earliest pursuits in punk and string bands, and solo work released on Olympia’s own label K and Hudson River Valley’s Team Love. She is currently one half of the banjo/ guitar duo known as The Lowest Pair.  Comparisons have been made to Karen Dalton, Gillian Welch, and Iris DeMent, but Kendl’s voice is all her own.
