Ringdown – Reckoning (Live) | Caroline Shaw & Danni Lee Parpan
Ringdown – Caroline Shaw and Danni Lee Parpan, perform “Reckoning” live in this concert recording presented by Music on Main and filmed December 11, 2025.
Blending cinematic electro-pop, indie songwriting, and contemporary classical influences, Ringdown creates music that lives somewhere between art pop and chamber music. In this special live performance, Shaw and Parpan are joined by pianist Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa and vibraphonist Julia Chien, bringing new textures and depth to the song.
Ringdown’s sound merges Shaw’s experimental compositional voice with Parpan’s emotionally direct lyrics and powerful vocals. The result is music that invites deep listening while remaining irresistibly melodic and singable.
Caroline Shaw is a composer, violinist, and vocalist who won the Pulitzer Prize for Music and multiple Grammy Awards, with work featured in projects including Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé and the Leonardo da Vinci documentary. Danni Lee Parpan is a vocalist and folk-pop songwriter known for emotionally rich lyrics and inventive approaches to instrumentation.
Together as Ringdown, they create cinematic electro-pop songs centered around joy, connection, and emotional honesty.
Ringdown’s debut album Lady on the Bike is available now on Nonesuch Records.
