Collection: THE OTHER YEARS

The Other Years are Anna Krippenstapel and Heather Summers—two voices riding a single harmonic laser beam, carrying instruments made of wood and skin and bones. They travel light.

There is something pure and strong and ancient in their voices. It reminds people of Jean Ritchie or Hazel Dickens or Karen Dalton. The Other Years are time-travelers —but not from the past. They come from the future with songs about how we’re all gonna get through these days.

Fiddle, guitar, banjo, and two human voices. Sometimes Heather and Anna sing together, sometimes they trade off. They leave plenty of space for notes to ring out and words to sink in. Maybe you feel like crying. Beautiful things can cause that.
