It’s rare to find two musicians so finely-attuned to each other that they are barely a pulse apart.

Gabrielle Macrae and Barry Southern have been impressing fans with a super-tasty interpretation of that territory where traditional Bluegrass and Old-Time cross over sweetly. The original material that is woven in so seamlessly, blends to perfection.

Gabrielle was drawn to the traditional music of the Appalachians like a moth to a flame. As a teenager she travelled extensively in and around western North Carolina, attending fiddlers’ conventions and festivals where she absorbed a feast of gems as well as playing styles “from the source.”

Fans of the genre began to take notice of her authentic clawhammer banjo and fiddle style. In 2008, The Macrae Sisters issued an album that won rave reviews in publications such as Sing Out! and The Old Time Herald.

Barry had been well-rooted on the Bluegrass scene for several years, played with different bands and is equally accomplished on both banjo and guitar. They really are a meant-to-be pairing. When they sing harmony vocals, that “sibling-sound” purity tickles the goosebumps to stand to attention.
