THEIR MUSIC comes from a heartfelt commitment to the mountain music tradition. Anna and Elizabeth have immersed themselves with old (and young) masters and folklorists, playing on porches and in kitchens, staying up all night to learn just one more song. Each used college to dive deep into history and archives, reading folklore and stories, listening to scratchy records of haunting voices, learning from relatives of long-gone greats. Their music has evolved; raw, sparse ballads, sweet lullabies, driving fiddle tunes and banjo songs, home music where less is more. Elizabeth’s remarkable deep mountain voice and Anna's modern one, an uncanny blend create a unique combination.
THE ROAD lays out their simple goal: to play in small, local places – schools and community centers, small theaters and living rooms – where the audience can move up close. Wherever they go comes an almost astonished silence as they begin, thunderous applause as they end. Notable appearances: High Museum of Modern Art (Atlanta), The Swannanoa Old Time Gathering (Asheville), The Lexington Opera House (KY), The Jefferson Theater (VA), The Brooklyn Folk Festival, The Watermelon Park Festival (VA) and Sharq Taronolari (Uzbekistan).
