Dan Moriarty's Miners and Gardners

Miners and Gardeners songs blend raw vocals alongside expansive arrangements, introspective lyrics and quiet waves of sound that occasionally roar and bite.

Miners and Gardeners is led by Dan Moriarty, an indie folk songwriter based in Minneapolis, MN.  Starting in 2021, Moriarty began to release several self-produced recordings from his home studio, inspired by the space between indie rock and folk. Think REM, Death Cab for Cutie, Band of Horses, and The National, as well as classic acts like the Go-Betweens.

Since 2024, Moriarty has been performing his songs live, both as solo, acoustic performances, and with guests on guitar, violin, bass and percussion.
