This week, “A Change of Tune” host Joni Deutsch interviews The Ericksons, a Minneapolis-based indie folk band comprised of sisters Jenny Kochsiek and Bethany Valentini. After a number of family losses, the two women finally came together to channel their love and grief into achingly beautiful folk music, as seen with the band’s newest release Bring Me Home. Check out the interview below to find out more about The Ericksons’ history, the band’s connections to folk visionaries Justin Vernon and S. Carey, and their music inspirations. If you’re a fan of hauntingly gorgeous music in the same vein as Lucius, this interview and music are recommended for you.

The Ericksons released Bring Me Home this past week. To find out the band’s fall tour schedule, make sure to head over to their website. You can hear the band’s new music on Joni Deutsch’s “A Change of Tune” this Saturday at 10 PM EST on West Virginia Public Radio.
