Zoë Carpenter and I are excited to begin touring and promoting our first recording, Tillamook Burn. Zoë began working with me in 2011 adding tight family harmonies to my recordings and joining me on stage for full sets. At the Black Pot festival in Lafayette, LA, 2013, we decided to formalize our musical partnership. Tillamook Burn is a name for the beautiful coastal mountain range in Oregon where Zoë grew up.
We finished our recording last fall. It's a 5 song EP which we made with Charlie Pitzer at Airshow, with Alan Garren helping with production. Audiophiles - you know this means the production is awesome. Tillamook Burn is gettting significant national and international airplay and we are getting wonderful feedback. (Thanks for the plays, djs.)
Zoë and I hope to see many of you at the release concerts in the NW in March. All are in good listening rooms with food and drink available.

About Tillamook Burn
Tillamook Burn is a mother-daughter duo from the coastal mountains of Oregon.
Lauren Sheehan and Zoë Carpenter launched Tillamook Burn in January 2015 with a self-titled EP, which features their instinctive vocal harmonies backed up on guitar, banjo, and mandolin. Much of their music comes directly from time spent with some of America’s greatest folk and blues artists, including John Jackson, Cephas and Wiggins, Corey Harris, Ginny Hawker and Tracy Scwarz, Etta Baker, Howard Armstrong, Joe Thompson and others.
Deemed a “one-woman Americana jukebox” (Huffington Post), Lauren began her solo career in 2003 and since then has performed at numerous national festivals, been heard on BBC and NPR, charted at the top of folk radio charts, and in 2012 won a Portland Music Award. Zoë grew up steeped in American roots music and began her professional collaboration with Lauren in 2011.
“Songcatchers of the highest order, performing with joy.” —Rick Ceballos, Lake Champlain Folk
“...I like that description as it recalls great musical forebears who, though blues based, drew inspiration and material from wherever they chose and were thus referred to as Songsters rather than blues musicians...Lauren is very much in the Songster tradition.” —Mike Regenstreif, music journalist
