“Old Time roots duo Hemlock & Hickory bursts onto the scene with a dazzling new release of cello and fiddle duets. Brendan’s groovy yet grounded cello playing provides the foundation for Dakota’s energetic fiddling to shine through. The often under-explored texture of cello and fiddle is enchanting. It’s clear these two love playing with each other amidst exploring new textures and developing original sonic landscapes.” - Brad Kolodner, Folk Alley and Bluegrass Country Radio
