The Dangling Participles are an Americana band from Lansing, MI.

The Dangling Participles are a Lansing-based band with a diverse song set ranging from folk and Americana to Latin jazz and blues. The band’s strong and soulful vocals—shared by Tamiko Rothhorn and Austin Kaufmann—give the group its signature sound, rich in harmonies. Austin anchors the group with his lead guitar and harmonica, with Tamiko adding cornet and ukulele. Tim Patterson fills out low end on his upright bass and backing vocals, and percussionist Dan Moreno rounds out the rhythm section.

The Dangling Participles have been performing genre-hopping originals and covers throughout mid-Michigan since 2015. Founded by three Michigan State University English language instructors (hence the band name’s grammatical flair), The Dangling Participles bring together their love of harmonizing, songwriting, and arranging to create a lively on-stage experience.

The band released its 2nd full-length album, "One More Drop," in 2022. Buy or stream wherever you get music:
