Watch newly released videos of our live duo performances! The last few weeks have been a whirlwind as Benjamin Chandler and I donned the many hats necessary for us DIY musicians to put our music into the world. We hope you’ll enjoy our new web domain and video channel. Take a look and have a listen. We’ll keep adding videos and hope to see you at a live show soon.

Come out to Ardmore Music Hall on Wednesday May 20th for the free, epic 26th Annual Bob Dylan Bday Bash presented by the legendary Kenn Kweder and John Train. Ben and I will be singing a very special duet... can you guess which song?

Next featured Gaffney Chandler duo show is on Thursday, June 11th at Jamey’s House of Music in Lansdowne, PA for 2nd Thursdays Folk Night. Stay tuned for more video adds and livestreams too.

We are thrilled to have found each other and look forward to sharing our creative union with all of you!

We are super excited for our show this Tuesday 4/21 at the historic Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA • Join us for a very special Philadelphia Folksong Society showcase in the Annex Room (box office entrance) featuring the songwriting of both Benjamin Chandler and Kate Gaffney’s original catalogues of music.

This is your chance to witness Kate and Ben’s acoustic duo project in action! Come see what the buzz is all about! Kate first invited Ben to join her at PFS’s Well Crafted Folk Show in late 2025 and they have been curating and collaborating ever since. They are grateful for the opportunity to share their musical union with you in an intimate listening room. It’s a philly folk thing!

Doors open at 6:30, Show 7-8pm. There is an open mic to follow at 8pm. Arrive early to sign up to perform a song after the concert. Free admission!

Thank you to the Keswick Theatre for their generosity in hosting the Philadelphia Folksong Society’s Free Monthly Concert, presented by the Musical Artists Cooperative, in the intimate Annex Room. Join PFS today! Check out the Keswick Theatre’s robust concert calendar! Some great shows are upcoming.

💫🎶Kate Gaffney and Ben Chandler have such an unprecedented musical connection that it sounds like they’ve been playing together for decades. They fuse acclaimed songwriting, soaring vocals, tightly woven harmonies, and dynamic guitar work to create original Americana music that is deeply personal and authentic. 🎶💫
