The Low Anthem began in 2006 as a collaboration between Ben Knox Miller, a folk musician, poet, and visual artist from New York's Hudson River Valley and Jeff Prystowsky, jazz bassist and baseball scholar from Jersey. The place was Providence, RI, a post industrial town reborn as a college town and artistic hotbed. Teammates in the wood bat summer leagues in rural Connecticut, their mutual interests in Americana, baseball, and morally agnostic narrative necessitated the formation of The Low Anthem. They began collaborating with classical composer Jocie Adams in November 2008.
