FRIDAY, April 10th at 8pm
Stephanie
Bettman is at the least a triple threat. An accomplished writer,
singer, and fiddler: her lyrics are infused with wit and wisdom, poetry and
insight. Vocally she draws comparison to the soaring soprano of Joan Baez and
the plaintive emotion of Emmylou Harris. Meanwhile, her fiddling, which combines
elements of bluegrass and jazz, is inspired by such masters as Stephane
Grappelli, Byron Berline and Johnny Gimble.
Luke
Halpin is a renowned multi-instrumentalist. A master of the guitar and
the mandolin, impressive on fiddle, banjo, and adept at nearly anything he picks
up. Halpin draws inspiration from the likes of Sam Bush, Mark O’Connor and Tony
Rice and holds his own in comparison. A dynamic and sensitive vocalist himself,
the harmony blend he and Ms Bettman achieve is chilling and at times simply
transcendent. His quirky sense of humor is a perfect foil to Stephanie’s dry
witty presence.
