Milkweed is an Americana band from Binghamton, New York, built around the trio of Joseph Alston, Jacqueline Colombo and Peter Lister. Their sound pulls from bluegrass flat-picking, Chicago blues harmonica and Irish ballads, with three-part vocal harmony at its core. The band expanded into a six-piece electric lineup in 2016, adding keys, drums and electric guitar. Their debut full-length, Dream of An American Family (2015), earned radio play and festival bookings across the US Northeast and East Coast.
Milkweed released the ELECTRIC - EP in January 2018, their first recording as a six-piece band, produced by Two Birds Records at Hart Studios.
The six-piece electric version of Milkweed came together for the first time on Halloween 2016 for the Scareousel Ball in Johnson City, NY.
