Anne & Pete Sibley
GiG - 1808 Second Street
Santa Fe, NM
Price: $15


Originally from New England, the Sibleys have been at home in the Rocky Mountain West since 1999. Singing for as long as they can remember, Anne & Pete have come many miles from their classical music training to “the people’s music:” folk, bluegrass and traditional music. Using the guitar and clawhammer banjo to accompany their tight harmonies, the Sibleys tell stories about life and love as they see it, and it is this quality that rings true with audiences from coast to coast. Anne & Pete’s music highlights their connection with the landscape, community, family, and even the food they grow and eat. Less than a decade since they released their first album, the Sibleys’ music hit the national spotlight in 2009 with a blue ribbon finish in the “Great American Duet Sing Off” on National Public Radio’s A Prairie Home Companion. Last summer, the couple released their fourth and most critically-acclaimed CD, Coming Home. Prior releases are Will You Walk With Me (2005), Winter on the Great Divide (2007) and Think of This River (2004).

“One of the sweetest, most soulful and hauntingly beautiful duets in the business”
Bluegrass Now Magazine

“Their harmonies are warm, tight and soulful; and their performances simple, poignant and unforgettable.”
Nashville Public Radio

“There’s a purity and honesty to Anne’s singing that pulls you into every song. Add in Pete’s tasteful, melodic touch on the clawhammer banjo and those sweetly-locked harmonies that snuggle right up next to each other, and it’s pure duet magic.”
Brian Eyster, Planet Bluegrass

“Best Contemporary Instrumental Record of the Year.” -Pulse

“His beautifully constructed originals are harmonic in conception, brimming with colorful altered chords that catapult the music into new expressive heights. In the process Dunlap comes up with some unforgettable melodies... The guitarist himself has impressive chops, but you always get the distinct feeling that his virtuosity is in service to the music... Dunlap has created a stirring, intellectually satisfying collection of pieces that have the grace and emotional import of fine poetry.” -JAZZIZ

“Dunlap sculpts a dazzling set of originals. Bringing to bear a supple technique and a gently arcing melodicism, Dunlap evokes shimmering portraits... His sound whether on 6,7,9 or 10 string acoustic guitars is likewise mellow and singing, yet always intense. In sum a tour de force” -Jazz Times

Wendy Waldman is an veteran recording artist, as well as a writer of multi-platinum songs in musical genres ranging from country to pop, film, jazz, children's music and R&B.

Waldman's career in the music business started with her band, Bryndle, in the early 1970s. Bryndle was made up of Waldman, Karla Bonoff, Kenny Edwards, and Andrew Gold.

The first solo Wendy Waldman album, "Love Has Got Me," was released by Warner Bros. Records in 1973 and proclaimed by Rolling Stone Magazine to be the "singer-songwriter debut of the year." Since then she has made nine critically acclaimed solo albums and numerous group projects and has toured widely as well.

Among her biggest records are "Save The Best For Last" and "The Sweetest Days" by Vanessa Williams; "Fishin' In The Dark" by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (most recently covered by Garth Brooks); "Baby What About You" by Crystal Gayle; "I Owe You One" by Aaron Neville; "Heartbeat" by Don Johnson, "I'm Gone" by Alison Krauss, and “Corn, Water and Wood,” which won the Cowboy Hall of Fame Wrangler award with Michael Martin Murphy.

Waldman became the first woman to produce country and acoustic music extensively and was responsible for several projects now considered classics in the acoustic music world, among them New Grass Revival (Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, John Cowan and Pat Flynn) Bryndle, Suzy Bogguss, the late Artie Traum, Ronny Cox, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils ,the Refugees of which she is a member, and now the exciting collaboration with Polish superstar Mietek Szczesniak.
