Bob & Sarah Amos – This popular father-daughter musical duo presents a wide variety of songs in an intimate style, with mesmerizing vocal harmonies accompanied by Bob’s formidable guitar talents. Bob is an award-winning songwriter who has written and recorded over 100 songs on 12 albums over the past 30 years. His songs reflect many influences and styles including folk, bluegrass, blues, Celtic, pop and rock-a-billy. Vocalist Sarah Amos has been singing professionally for over 15 years, and currently performs with her father in their duo act as well as in a bluegrass band. In their duo, Bob and Sarah step outside of their bluegrass setting, performing a wider selection of songs from Bob’s diverse musical catalog, plus a few of their favorite traditional and modern covers.
Pipe & Slippers are an acoustic folk duo newly located in Peacham, made up of Nathan Colpitts and Andrea Otto. They have performed in a variety of small venues across the NEK for the past 6 years and are popular at local farm markets where Nathan also peddles his wares under the name ‘The Singing Blacksmith’. The two perform both traditional and original tunes with Nathan on guitar, mandolin & vocals, and Andrea joining him in clear, crisp harmony. Presented with care and confidence, with a touch of humor and a splash of storytelling.
