Leiting & Van Kammen is a Wisconsin-based folk duo whose music blends myth, history, and lived experience into stark, narrative-driven songs. Rooted in indie and modern folk traditions, their work is defined by evocative storytelling, minimal yet powerful instrumentation, and themes that explore mortality, memory, and resilience.

Their debut EP, Death’s Dowry, showcases this approach with tracks inspired by figures like Saint Olga of Kiev, Finnish folklore, and personal struggles with addiction, all tied together by the recurring presence of Death as a central character. The duo’s sound is both intimate and expansive, carrying the weight of timeless stories while remaining grounded in human emotion.
