NPR Slingshot: Ten Artists to Know from Philly WXPN "Artist to See" at the '24 Philadelphia Folk Festival
Delivering Songs of Love and Other Struggles.
Combining Bethlehem's soaring vocals and driving percussion with Sad Patrick's sparse guitar, they perform powerful songs about being in and out of love, keeping your head up in the city, struggling to make your way, and seeking peace on the margins. Sad Patrick's hybrid of folk, blues and jazz playing supports Bethlehem's “vocussion” – her powerful singing, remarkable improvisations and nuanced melodies riding atop her tarima stomps and body percussion. Their live shows are enthralling, with their on-the-spot interplay and how fully Bethlehem inhabits their songs and captivates a crowd.
