The wondrous Webster sisters, Chris and Cassie -- two of the Bay Area's best singers in any style -- join forces with eclectic flatpicking guitar virtuoso Scott Nygaard to reinvent traditional songs from the Appalachian mountains and gems from the great American songbook. Chris, best known as lead singer with the Cajun-country-R&B-swing dance band Mumbo Gumbo, has a sweet, soulful style and witty stage presence. Cassie is known throughout the baroque music world for her delightful soprano. In combination, the sisters' voices blend in beautiful, tightly knit harmonies.
Incorporating bluegrass, jazz, Cajun, Western swing, and rock & roll into an original and powerful flat-pick guitar style, Scott has graced Laurie Lewis' Grant Street band, Tim O'Brien's O'Boys, Darol Anger's Republic of Strings, and many other acclaimed groups. He has also won numerous Grammy nominations for his stellar sidemanship and released two albums on Rounder.
In addition to songs from the traditional repertoire, Chris and Scott's original material rounds out the set, including numbers from their recent album, the lovely Ten Thousand Miles.
