Ithaca-based banjo player Richie Stearns (The Horseflies, Donna the Buffalo) and fiddler Rosie Newton (The Duhks, Red Dog Run) are a dynamic duo performing music rooted in the Americana tradition. Steeped in old-time music, Appalachian folk, blues, African, rock, and country, they create a scintillating blend of traditional and original songs. “Soul-touching music,” writes Bluegrass Today.
