North American Tour Continues Through End Of June. Additional July Dates Announced Including The Newport Folk Festival

Grammy-nominated folk duo The Milk Carton Kids have been nominated in the best duo/group category for the Americana Music Associations¹s 2014 honors. The awards ceremony will take place at the historic Ryman
Auditorium in Nashville on September 17, 2014.

The duo recently released a performance DVD by The Milk Carton Kids
entitled Live From Lincoln Theatre which cinematically captures the
group¹s celebrated on-stage repartee, virtuosic flat picking guitar
work, and flawless vocal harmonies. The DVD is available in the Deluxe
Version of their Grammy-nominated album The Ash & Clay, as a stand-alone DVD long box, and digitally.

The Milk Carton Kids are currently amidst a 46-date North American tour
which has seen a majority of performances sell out months in advance.
The trek will culminate with an appearance at the historic Newport Folk
Festival on July 26th.

"There is something almost unnatural about the mellifluous harmonies of
The Milk Carton Kids, something freakish. It¹s hard to believe that two
people can sync to each other like that" - New York Times Magazine
