Imagine a voice steeped in the influences of American folk history. Now combine that with a wild five-string funk cello that defies your imagination. We fell in love with Bethany Yarrow and Rufus Cappadocial when we presented them at the Espresso Garden, and we're thrilled to have them in our living room this August! Together, they propel you into their world of folk and roots music as you've never experienced it before.

Called "a splash of sunlight between the grey cracks of mediated culture" by the UK Guardian, the cello and voice duo have kept their production spare and focused on the depth of soul in the rots music they inhabit. In their hands, old aching mountain songs, gospel cries of redemption and reckoning, and the deep groove chugging of a freight train holler come alive again with an urgency and energy that have electrified audiences all over the world.

BETHANY & RUFUS' newest project is a TV show filmed for PBS with Bethany's father, Peter of the legendary folk trio Peter, Paul and Mary. The show, Peter, Bethany & Rufus: The Spirit of Woodstock, grew out of a musical collaboration of Peter, Bethany & Rufus on the CD, "Puff & Other Family Classics" (Salasree Records 2007).
