| "PARADISE draws us into a place of repose and rest, weaving melodies of the heart into a rich and eloquent fabric of beauty." - Don Campbell, author, The Mozart Effect PARADISE showcases Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel's incomparable gift of music with their extraordinary, organic sounds of wood, reeds, and string. The range and depth of their compositions is all the more amazing in that it originates from the two of them alone. Their skillful combination of a single guitar and solo oboe - or ocarina - produces music that is both intimate and grand in scope. This is American acoustic - a genre Tingstad & Rumbel rightfully call their own. In more than 16 years of concert touring they have found endless inspiration in the richly varied landscapes and stories of America. "We have performed, recorded and traveled throughout the United States for years. Our music is a direct reflection of the countless people, places and emotions that we feel from living and working as musicians in this country." In a nation settled by people from around the world, these longtime colleagues have created and remained at the core of a distinctive and essential style. Natural as breath and pulse, richly diverse yet easily identifiable, PARADISE is filled with the vibrant sound of wood and string - and owes its vitality to the artistic chemistry and extraordinary skills of two gifted performers. |
