The cult-favorite-folk songwriter Dan Reeder performs alongside his angelic-voiced daughter, Peggy Reeder, whose voice has brought a fresh spark to his sound in their live shows these past two years.
In Fall 2024, Reeder shared Smithereens, an album of sharp-witted, deeply human songs that reaffirmed his reputation as one of folk’s most original voices. After two sold-out nights in Nashville during AmericanaFest, he and Peggy embarked on a sold-out West Coast tour that spring.
Last summer’s spotlight came at the Newport Folk Festival, where Reeder and Peggy joined Jack Antonoff for a surprise appearance during his Ally Coalition Talent Show set. Their heartfelt rendition of “Maybe” also featured a chorus of special guests including Waxahatchee and Weyes Blood, adding a collaborative moment to an already star-studded evening. That guest-filled set also included unforgettable appearances by Hayley Williams, Jeff Tweedy, Rufus Wainwright, Maren Morris, and more—placing Reeder squarely in the company of some of folk and indie’s most revered artists.
Signed personally by the late John Prine, Reeder remains the longest-running artist on Oh Boy Records, the legendary label Prine founded. With a fan base that includes Phoebe Bridgers, Maya Hawke, Paul Mescal, and others, his influence quietly extends across generations of artists and songwriters.
