An incredibly talented
musical incarnation made up of two top female singer/songwriters, they
sprang forth from serendipity as much as from destiny. Blossoming from
Women in the Round, to really, what comes around, their sound and their
spirit soars; inspired to say the least. Their voices compliment each
other, Rebecca's earthiness is matched with Celeste's pure, sweet voice .
Combined they produce an ambrosial song that touches the spirit.
Celeste Krenz , now
living in Nashville, TN, garnered national attention with her debut album
with her 2nd release charting at #11 on the Gavin Americana Radio chart
alongside Willie Nelson, Mary Chapin Carpenter and Dar Williams. Robert
K. Oermann of Music Row Magazine writes, "The purest folk voice Ive
heard in years, and that little catch in her throat gives it just a touch
of hillbilly soul. I was so enchanted that I practically held my breath.
Krenz has had songs featured on NPR's 'Prairie Home Companion", has
been a guest on Boulder Theater's E-town live radio show, and is currently
played in rotation on folk and Americana stations around the country.
Blix Street Records signed Celeste in 1999, recognizing her appeal to
the same audience that had reacted strongly to other Blix Street artists,
including Irish vocalist Mary Black, Scotland's Dougie MacLean and the
late Eva Cassidy. An acclaimed songwriter herself, Krenz shows a strong
lyrical sensibility and a poetic and emotional melodic sense, successfully
staking out artistic territory in the vein so successfully mined by Lucinda
Williams, Roseanne Cash and Shelby Lynne and Shawn Colvin.
Not all singer/songwriters can move from intimate storytelling to knock
you to your knees blues, Rebecca Folsom does with humor and a spiritual
twist. Her voice has been described as sultry and as sharing the vocal
prowess of Susan Tedeschi. Her songs have been described as hitting like
little earthquakes. She is a poet, a painter, a songwriter and musician.
Having lived in Boulder CO since her birth, she carries in all of her
creative endeavors the brilliant collision of still water Zen and the
fire of the wild, wild, west. My aim is to awaken and uplift people.
It is important to look at the realities going on in the world today,
socially and politically, but it is equally of value to laugh and spread
comfort and joy. Red haired and green-eyed, Rebecca fit in quite
well when she toured her ancestral homeland in Ireland and Northern Ireland
playing her music for millions of people on BBC radio and Television with
Danny Many Horses Rael. Their live taping won best program of the month
and was played many times over the next year. She has released 5 CDs,
the most recent titled Shine was recorded at Cedar Creek Studios
in Austin, TX the recording home of some of her favorite musicians work,
Patti Griffin, Shawn Colvin, and the Dixie Chicks. Rebecca muses, Of
all the things we are fortunate to do in life, live performance is my
passion bullseye. There is nothing more exciting than connecting with
audiences through the groove, lyric, and melody of music, losing our worries
and being elevated in the inspirational spark of the moment.
