We shared our ‘Labor of Love’ this Labor Day with a special edition of ‘The Four’. In today’s show, we featured so many amazing musicians, bands, and collaborations either created in or inspired 
by Northern Michigan.
First up – they started as a couple of kids from Interlochen, and have been described as some of the most emotionally compelling songwriters of our time. When the pandemic hit, The Accidentals knew they were going to stick together under quarantine. Over the past few months, they’ve still been recording. Including this new song from their Long Lake driveway – Slow and Steady.
