I cannot imagine a better setting within which to hear the acoustic folk-pop and Appalachian melodies of the female duo that make up Alathea than in the intimate setting of a home. It's fusion music that they make; using traditional bluegrass instruments in a modern way, prinicipal singer/songwriter Mandee Radford and band mate Christi Johnson mix it up with guitar, banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and dulcimer, but never in a strictly traditional way. Add Mandee's clear-as-a-bell vocals and Christi's smoky harmonies, and the sound is infectious --- not slick but rootsy. Deep. That depth extends to the lyrics which are rooted in a spiritual perspective that is always percolating underground.
Join us for a great night of music with these women from the Tennessee foothills. They'll treat us to a host of original songs, even a few new songs mined in their COVID-induced hiatus. Enjoy the music and stay around to talk over coffee and dessert after the music stops. It's so good to see these women perform again!
