Multitalented: The Accidentals visit Columbus

​Violinist Savannah Buist, cellist Katie Larson, and percussionist Michael Dause make up The Accidentals, who will perform in Columbus on March 12 with Six String Concerts. I spoke with Sav and Katie about their time as musicians, how the pandemic changed their musical abilities (think: engineering), and how they got to cowrite with some of their musical heroes on the Timeout Project.

“The timeout project is actually kind of a side project …[and] a bunch of cowrites that we do with people who inspire us to become writers, such as … Beth Nielsen Chapman, Maia Sharp, Tom Paxton, Gretchen Peters, Gary Burr, and Georgia Middlemen.”
