The Shandies are Shannon Stine and Natalie Wlodarczyk, a married folk duo from the Missouri Ozarks who have spent more than a decade making music side by side and building an entire life together while doing it.

Their songs dig into childhood and family, guilt and identity, the persistent feeling of not having done enough, and old wounds that now look different from middle age. The particulars make for a catalog that is deeply personal, but not exclusive. The Shandies have found that the more honestly they write about their own lives, the more their listeners seem to recognize their own stories in the songs—including people who don't often see themselves reflected onstage.

Expect intertwining acoustic guitars, their signature “fresh-squeezed harmony,” and plenty of playful banter between songs. You’ll leave feeling like you’ve known them for years. The Shandies’ fourth full-length album, First Born, arrives October 9, 2026.
