The Duke of Norfolk, is the recording project of the peripatetic folk musician Adam Thomas Howard. Howard grew up in Oklahoma and was inspired early on by Irish traditional music, bluegrass music, and the London-based folktronic band Tunng. After moving to Edinburgh to study Sound Design his music began to nestle somewhere between traditional folk instrumentation and more modern electronic folk.
Howard currently resides and records in Paris.

Twin Bridges, is a Cellist / Songwriter originally from New Mexico, currently in Portland Oregon. Twin Bridges has always been vulnerable cello music for Zach and his cat, Alice. Eventually building the courage to play solo shows where he resided in Albuquerque NM, Austin TX and in the mountains of Colorado prior to moving to the Pacific Northwest. Over the course of the pandemic, the friends featured on the album got together to work out how to translate the feeling of the album to a live setting and started playing shows as a band in 2021. Twin Bridges songs can be described as pensive, dark and melodic.

Arran Fagan, Praised for his introspective lyrics and vivid storytelling, Portland-based folk artist Arran Fagan has garnered a following in his native Oregon with his uncanny ability to weave the personal and universal. After getting his start in the grassroots music scene of Southern Oregon, Arran has spent the greater part of his life pursuing music, creating wistful and evocative songs that explore themes that connect us all—loss, addiction, change, and the endless passage of time.
With heartfelt lyrics and rich instrumentation that has garnered comparisons to Josh Ritter and Nathaniel Rateliff, Arran has spent years in the NW folk music scene, getting his start playing coffee shops and house shows for college classmates and eventually going on to open for Northwest favorites like Leif Vollebekk, HorseFeathers, Kris Orlowski, Matthew Fowler, and Jeffrey Martin.
