The Spine Stealers

The Spine Stealers are a two-women duo making “spooky folk” influenced by the north-wood Wisconsin pines, 24/7 truck stop diners, heartbreak and dark lakes. They started learning guitar together around bonfires in their shared hometown during the height of the pandemic, soon writing songs inspired by lonesome winters, the heartaches of nostalgia and broken ideas of love.

After frequenting open mics in July of 2022, they started landing gigs in Madison, WI and throughout the Midwest. The duo opened for Dead Horses at Madison’s Majestic Theater for Folk Fest 2023, won the 2023 Blue Ox Music Festival Virtual band Competition and played at the fest, and released their first EP, “River Teeth Tapes” in July, 2023.

In their second year as a band the duo has played the lounge at Stoughton Opera House for Elephant Revival and Haley Heyndrickx, opened for Arcadian Wild, played Project North Festival in Rhinelander, Boogiedown festival in Yuba, WI, and was featured in Gems on VHS October Playlist. The duo released their debut album, "If The Sky Falls, Beyond The Sidewalks" in October of 2024.
