The Accidentals

The Accidentals
are “explorers and admirers” of indie music greats like Andrew Bird,
St. Vincent, Sufjean Stephens, Arcade Fire, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah’s, Black
Keys, Sara Jaffe, and the Beatles. The band's original tunes reflect its
exposure to a wide variety of instruments while staying true to its
orchestral roots. In addition to guitar, bass, glockenspiel, mandolin,
banjo, piano, organ, accordian, and kazoo, you'll hear the edgy violin
and cello that defines this duo. A review of Tangled Red and Blue summed
up the duo's achievement: “It’s difficult to believe that music this
accomplished is being crafted by two talents who are still in high
school. but that’s The Accidentals’ story.”  In
2013 The Accidentals opened for Andrew Bird, Sixto Rodriguez (Sugar
Man), Aunt Martha, Rosco Bandana, and Lauren Mann. Then the pair hopped
an RV to tour their home state of Michigan for seven weeks while
finishing and releasing a second album, Bittersweet. Additionally, the band has been contracted
to compose an original score for an independent film called "One Simple
Question," and its songs "The Silence," "City of Cardboard," and "Miso
Soup" were selected for use in a second indie film, called "Please Wait
To Be Seated." The band is currently working on a music
video, writing and recording a song for a compilation album to raise
funds for childhood cancer research, and providing music to evver.com, a
new social media platform, all while finishing high school and touring
on weekends.
