The Accidentals are an American band, formed in Traverse City, Michigan in 2012 by singer-songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Sav Buist (now Sav Madigan) and Katie Larson. The group has featured an eclectic blend of indie folk, pop, bluegrass, rock, classical, and other genres. They have released seven full-length albums, three EPs, and two live albums.

Buist and Larson grew up in musical families, released their first two albums while in high school, hired percussionist Michael Dause in 2014, and began touring nationally. Dause departed in March 2023 and was replaced by Katelynn Corll.[2] The band signed with major label Sony Masterworks by the time the members were around age 21, but they returned to releasing their recordings independently.[1] Now based in Nashville,[3] they tour and lead music workshops across the US.[4][1]
