Funky Folk with Chris Baron and Debbie Stewart

Description

A unique blend of styles ranging from heartfelt folk to danceable rock, this acoustic powered duo features cello, guitar, and a kick drum. The addition of the cello brings warmth and depth to the original songs. There are hints of folk in the storytelling and heartfelt nature of the songs, rocking guitar to get people dancing, a touch of humor, and unique guitar lines that bring the "funky" to the folk.

The shows are engaging, and can be modified to fit the audience. For deep listeners, an intimate, warm sound can be achieved acoustically with the cello and lyrics featured. We've had many people up and dancing at our "plugged in" shows, where we play our more rhythmic songs. Effects pedals are used for energy and texture, making the duo sound like a full band. Both shows bring a totally original sound that is far beyond the scope of the general singer songwriter.
