"They are at the heart of what we all call 'traditional.'  I am so impressed with not only their talent, but also their commitment." - GINNY HAWKER  Anna Roberts-Gevalt (fiddle, banjo, guitar and harmonies) and Elizabeth LaPrelle (ballads, banjo) inspire audiences with the beautiful soul of Appalachian roots music. Steeped in knowledge of mountain tunes, ballads and stories, the pair are gifted storytellers and visual artists reviving the lost art of "crankies," scrolling storyboards made of sewn fabric or cut paper.  They invite audiences to get close, offering intimate and breathtaking multi-media shows unlike anything seen or heard. "We believe in the power of stories-- from family jokes to ancient ballads. What keeps us going is this process of exploring how the old stories are still magical, after all these years."

Elizabeth was the first recipient of the Henry Reed Award from the Library of Congress at age 16; won the 2012 Mike Seeger Award at Folk Alliance International; has released 3 solo ballad albums; and was called "quite simply the best young appalachian ballad singer to emerge in recent memory" by fRoots Magazine. Anna is a blue-ribbon fiddler and banjo player; the artistic director of East Kentucky's traditional music institute, the Cowan Creek Mountain Music School; and an in-demand music video artist.
