Twangtown Paramours and Nate & Kate
Our popular "See the Future!" series continues with two romantic and musical duos whose excellent work is helping to create a brilliant future for folk music. Come sample what's fresh and new in the folk world at a price that's right! Our costs are underwritten by the New York State Council on the Arts, enabling us to give you an amazing bargain.
The music of The Twangtown Paramours ("Twangtown" as in Nashville, "Paramour" as in they're an item) has been called "Sophisticated Americana", and is a hybrid of the Nashville and Austin music scenes. After spending last summer on the Folk DJ and Country Roots charts, the Paramours were named one of the Artists on the Verge for 2011 by Bluegrass Special magazine, and in May they were chosen as finalists in the prestigious Kerrville New Folk competition. And, perhaps most relevant to the Caffe Lena audience, they receive high praise from Albany's own Queen of the Folk DJs, Wanda Fisher.
Nate and Kate from Ithaca are central New York's folk superheroes. This spunky duo delivers a mix of heartfelt modern folk songs, humor, and juggling (yes, you read that right) that adds up to a completely unique and dynamic show fit for old, young, and all in between. They update old-time sounds for younger listeners, blending shades of blues, ragtime, music hall, and gospel. Their fresh, vivacious energy breathes new life into this tried and true musical form.
