The Contenders
at The Purple Onion
Folkicana duo, The Contenders, have crafted their sound after years of traveling the country. Pulling tales and stories from all walks of life, from shared experiences, from every high and and every low.. Their infectious rhythms and sublime 2-part harmonies, feed into their message or the troubadour. “Not many people know what it feels like, I fear, to be in so many strangers’ homes sharing music and stories, food and drink. But the troubadour knows. We do it all the time. And The Contenders mean to let you know it’s real, it gives them hope, and, lately, it breaks their hearts.
