The Milk Carton Kids 

October 29, 2016

$27 for Adults, $25 for Seniors and Miami Faculty and Staff, and $18 for Miami Students and Children under 12 

Grammy-nominated harmony duo The Milk Carton Kids released their third album, Montereyon May 19, 2015. A refreshing alternative to the foot-stomping grandeur of the so-called "folk revival," an understated virtuosity defines The Milk Carton Kids and their new album. The Milk Carton Kids won Duo/Group of the Year at the Americana Music Awards in 2014. Yet while some of the band's many accolades reference a specific genre, the duo quickly transcends those tags with clear inflections of jazz, classical, even the dark lyricism of modern "alternative."
