Biography
It often seems that the best music being made today completely defies category, and Bethany & Rufus do just that, mixing influences from dusty American field recordings to modern jazz, from delicate folk pop to the Griot traditions of Africa. By reaching back to traditional folk songs, Bethany & Rufus take a surprising step forward, blending their vast influences through the minimalist combination of voice and cello on traditionals such as “St. James Infirmary,” “East Virginia” and “Linin’ Track.” The results on their debut CD “900 MILES” are both haunting and utterly gorgeous, drawing comparisons as easily to Cassandra Wilson and Nina Simone as to the Cowboy Junkies and Jolie Holland.
