Biography
Folkapotamus is a Boston-area folk duo consisting of Penni Hart and Tony Trites. They have been performing together since 2011. Their thoughtful lyrics and flowing melodies draw listeners in as they are taken on a journey through life and love. They continue to study songwriting with folk icon Vance Gilbert.
Their debut album Whispered Words is a collection of beautifully crafted original songs and a few of their favorite cover songs, accentuated by the skillful accompaniment of multi-instrumentalist Eric Kilburn and Boston-area violinist Jackie Damsky.
“Folkapotamus ~ A large sounding name that is the perfect example of the acoustic duo folk thing. Warm, enveloping, unpretentious, exciting in a quiet way, two voices that seem to effortlessly blend to tell great poignant original story songs. Folkapotamus is a big hug that yet whispers great music in your ear while you're in its embrace."
