Hybridizing parts of both their names, Laura Idle and Rose Spieler-Sandberg form the folk duo Idle Rose. The pair has roots in the Chequamegon Bay region of Northern Wisconsin. Their soft and sweet harmonies are accompanied by acoustic guitar, baritone ukulele, washboard, and a stomp box to back the lyrics of their original songs. Both take turns writing their delicate tunes and have recorded two full-length albums together. The most recent, Little by Little, bloomed in the summer of 2025, with titles such as “Sweet Trouble,” “Ten Minute Nap,” and “Chickadee.”
