Under The Oak Folk Singer-Songwriter

Collaboration

Adam Monaco combines his adept command of the mandolin with the pure vocals of

emerging singer-songwriter Maggie Pope in a mix of tunes rooted in traditional folk music, but also touching bluegrass and folk-rock.

This collaborative effort produces a refreshing sound capable of evoking stirring emotion

that will culminate in a new album, set to be released later this year.
