Tim and James- Oak Creek
Brought up in the California farmland and Georgia Appalachian hollows, the Los Angeles duo of James Spaite and Tim Reynolds traffic in a fingerstyle guitar and violin vernacular that feels ancient and alive, their string duets drawing from tradition without being beholden to it. Oak Creek is chamber music that knows its bluegrass roots, expressive bowing and luminous fretwork converging into profoundly transportive folk music with a classical persuasion played at a superb level of musicianship.
