The Accidentals: Sometimes You’ve Just Gotta Say #$%^&!

Craft: Exploring Creativity

The Accidentals, violinist Sav Madigan and cellist Katie Larson, have been captivating audiences since a little after they met in a Traverse City, Michigan, high school. Their latest album, “Timeout 3,” is the most recent addition to their Timeout series of cowritten albums. Sav describes how the album was born during the pandemic, leveraging unexpected free time to collaborate remotely with their musical heroes. This new album continues to build on the storytelling and emotional processing initiated in earlier projects.

Their new-found freedom has them exploring edgier lyrics, including some that necessitated original and radio-friendly versions. Songs like “Better Than Me” use explicit language as a powerful response to individuals in the music industry who attempt to belittle the band’s unique voice.

They also discuss their “Play It Forward Again and Again” nonprofit initiative that brings instruments and assistance to student musicians,
