Flutes & Low is the folk duo project of Ben Pichler and Cambria Haen. Since meeting and playing music together in Duluth, they have put their musical talents together to create lush sounds and memorable melodies. Deeply influenced by the rich landscapes of the Midwest, their music is pastoral as it is touching.

Inspiration is drawn from artists like Bon Iver, Damien Rice, Penny and Sparrow, Bonny Light Horseman, and Iron and Wine. Flutes & Low relies on the beauty of a simple arrangement, traditional folk structures, and the power that music can hold with few instruments and two voices. 

The pair’s name-sake comes from the Gerard Manley Hopkins poem “Inversnaid”. The poem’s moody natural elements bear a striking resemblance to the frigid midwest environment that has shaped the band’s upbringing.

The pair has just completed a new debut album. The self-produced 11-song record titled "Lay Fallow" is set to release this spring on March 20th, 2025.
