Cahalen Morrison & Eli West are a folk duo known for their seamless vocal harmonies, stellar musicianship, and innovative approach to traditional music. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, Morrison and West joined forces in 2008, sharing a common passion for string-band music, old-time tradition, and the vibrant roots music scene. The duo quickly became known for their unique blend of styles, incorporating elements of bluegrass, Celtic music, and old-time American tunes.

Their first album, "The Holy Coming of the Storm," released in 2010, introduced them as a compelling force in the folk world, earning acclaim for its touching narrative songwriting and refined acoustic sound. Building on their fast-growing reputation, they cemented their status in the folk community with two more albums, "Our Lady of the Tall Trees" (2012) and "I'll Swing My Hammer With Both My Hands" (2014). These works showcase the duo's ability to honor traditional music roots while infusing songs with their fresh, creative insights. While Morrison's versatility on stringed instruments such as the banjo and mandolin pairs excellently with West's skilled guitar picking, it's their vocal harmonies that truly distinguish their sound, binding the listener with melodies that are at once haunting and warmly familiar. Despite each artist exploring solo projects and collaborations, the legacy of their partnership continues to resonate with fans across the folk music landscape.
