Miles and Karina are David Miles Keenan and Nova Karina Devonie.
Their music is the happy result of a 15 year collaboration.

been writing and performing locally in their home town of Seattle.
They have shared the stage with such notables as EmmyLou Harris,
Bela Fleck, Bill Monroe, Alison Kraus, Tim O'Brien, Rodney Crowell
and David Grisman to name a few.
Miles plays guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle and both sing while Karina's
instrument of choice is the accordion.
