The Not-So-Dark Duo That Is Deathfolk

Bringing an unorthodox name to the folk genre, Jessica Holland and Nick Hoover are one of Door County’s favorite duos. Since 2010 they’ve experimented with various instruments but have settled into a combination of acoustic guitar and banjo to back their love of dark folk songs.

The duo talks to host Ben McMahon about what keeps them in Door County, what inspired the name, and their dream show.
