The Nesters

Easterners transplanted to the wild west, Jami Lynn and Eliza are modern troubadours. Over the past decade, both women have garnered abundant accolades releasing albums and touring nationally and internationally with their respective solo projects. The Nesters began a year ago when Jami and Eliza got together to jam. They’d heard of one another, but had never met, despite the fact that both had settled in western South Dakota (Jami in the Black Hills, and Eliza on a cattle ranch in Perkins County.) They each knew right away they’d found something special in the other. Their love of cowboy culture and the prairie narrative, not to mention banjo and the poetry of naturalists like Mary Oliver, have made collaborative songwriting and arranging a joy.
