Mike Compton and Joe Newberry collaborate with a vision that is both modern and ageless, digging deep into early country music, blues, and other heartbeat sounds of traditional music.Their performances at home and abroad, from venues large and small, showcase soul-stirring instrumentals, numbers from the great American songbag, as well as newly composed songs and tunes that are already taking their rightful place in the new tradition.
“Bluegrass Today” says of Compton and Newberry, “Real music performed by artists with a deep appreciation for the folk traditions that came before them... They pull off what's almost impossible these days: honest, genuine music that will get your soul dancing.”
Compton and Newberry are shining a much-deserved contemporary light on the roots, as they tend to the branches, too. As “Mandolin Cafe” put it, “Two musicians, two instruments and two voices capture the essence of how great music can be.”
