## Resource

Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan of the Milk Carton Kids are a Grammy-nominated folk duo hailing from Eagle Rock. Somewhere in between Simon & Garfunkel and The Smothers Brothers, their sound is described as "bittersweet & beautiful," with a side of wry, humorous banter that makes them both accessible and beloved. We discuss their origin story, the band's evolution, and the state of folk music in L.A. and beyond. Also, check out their NEWEST release, Lost Cause Lover Fool, streaming everywhere (and at independent record shops!)
