814 Originals Presents: Caledonia Live at Antifragile Brewing Co. — Fiddles, Folk, and Fresh Pours in Downtown State College
Happy Valley, PA—Caledonia is the kind of band that feels like a front porch jam session with your most talented friends, if your friends happened to be masterful at weaving together country, bluegrass, folk, and Irish influences into something wholly their own. Founded by William Ryan and Daniel Collins during the quiet isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic, this Lemont-based duo found lightning in a bottle at Earwicker Studios and never looked back. With Ryan’s earnest vocals and Collins’ intricate fiddle melodies, their “country-eastern” style paints sonic landscapes inspired by the Caledonia Pike, the forests of Clearfield County, and the stories that bloom from Pennsylvania roots.
