About
In this duo, Steve focuses on several kinds of wooden flutes; however, he plays the entire flute family, recorders and bass guitar and is also a composer and arranger. Since 1986, he has been part of a duo with guitarist Audie Bridges.
Originally from rural Illinois, Shelley holds a bachelor’s degree in piano performance from Vanderbilt University’s Blair school of Music. After graduating, she began working at Plimoth Plantation, role-playing one of the Pilgrims and taking care of the farm animals there. She also began to study the music of 17th century England, and joined an a capella group called For the Nonce which sings in historic costume for museum events and tavern dinners. She found that folk music satisfied her musical spirit more than her classical studies had and has since learned to play the harp, mountain dulcimer, and several other folk instruments. Her other interests include dancing and dance music, historical agriculture, writing stories and poetry, gardening, and being outside.
