The Milk Carton Kids Live From Lincoln Theatre (Vinyl 2LP)

Comprised of singers and acoustic guitar players Joey Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale, The Milk Carton Kids both filmed and recorded their set at this Columbus, Ohio theatre in October 2013 during their tour in support of the Grammy-nominated album The Ash & Clay. Released as a film in 2014, this is the first time the show's audio is available on vinyl.

"Live From Lincoln Theatre is the truest representation of what Joey and I have been up to for the last decade," Pattengale explains. "The set list is like a greatest hits album of Milk Carton Kids songs. I've never played guitar in the studio quite the way that it comes together on stage. Our voices also communicate something extra for the occasion. And, of course, Joey doesn't ramble about our master recordings, but there's no stopping him once the lights are dim and the mics are hot. In Columbus everything came together the way that it does when audience and performer are in fine form, the energy coalescing into the mystery that drives us musicians to do everything we do."

Originally the video was edited and the audio mixed by Pattengale in the band's sprinter van in the days following the show; now it has been re-mastered by Kim Rosen, one of the band's favorite collaborators. Live From Lincoln Theatre is both a perfect introduction for the uninitiated and a memento for long-time fans of the band's celebrated on-stage repartee, virtuosic flat picking guitar work, and flawless vocal harmonies.
