  • S3 Ep302: With Guests Low Stakes - Folk-Rock Music Group

    S3 Ep302: With Guests Low Stakes - Folk-Rock Music Group
    Feb 18 2026
    Low Stakes is what happens when two musicians get fed up with polite art and sanitized songwriting, trading it for sharp, unfiltered folk-rock that says the quiet part loud. Eric Colville and Ann Holbrook write with the lyricism of Paul Simon and John Prine, the hooks of The Byrd’s or Tom Petty, and a true punk ethos.

    Their songs live in the friction between humor and heartbreak, absurdity and depth, grief and joy. It’s the whole ridiculous mess of being human crammed into a melody. Low Stakes isn’t background music; it’s for people who are tired of swallowing their truth, who’ve laughed at funerals, raged at the news, and still somehow believe in something.

    Join the folk-rock music group Low Stakes and I as we talk about creating music, the songwriting process, finding creative inspiration, trusting your intuition and so much more! They even play a couple of songs live for us!
