The North Carolinian quartet Mipso brought their brand of folk to The Sinclair on Wednesday 11/15. The show was among the group’s last stops of the year in support of their latest album Book of Fools.

Early attendees had the luck of catching a short-but-sweet solo acoustic set by singer/songwriter Kate Rhudy. The crowd had largely filled in by the time The Wildmans took to the stage. The eponymous brother and sister duo and their accompanying band added more than a few more strings into the mix as they demonstrated their virtuosic synergy. Mipso capped off the evening with a wide-ranging set that both showcased their newest material and offered samplings from their back catalog spanning 10 years. They spiced things up even further with a couple of covers as well, with an intriguing choice of Hank Williams and Dido. Mipso highlighted their own cohesion by performing a significant portion of their set crowded together around a single microphone. The audience connected with the harmony displayed on stage and reciprocated it, particularly as they sang along enthusiastically during “Louise.” With such congruity, Mipso and the fans in attendance enjoyed a night of mutual appreciation.
