Program

Conjuring the ancient, often haunting, ballads of the British Isles and their Appalachian counterparts, Rebecca Hall's compositions don't so much ignore modern songcraft as transcend it. Combined with husband Ken Anderson's old-school musical arrangements and '˜60s-era pop harmonies, the result is an altogether new, yet curiously familiar, style they call "retro folk."

Rebecca & Ken have created a program specifically tailored to libraries and their patrons. Unique to this presentation is a focus on the Appalachian and Celtic roots of their songwriting, with the performance of traditional songs relevant to the development of their style. Instrumentation consists of guitar, bass and harmonica.
