Two Roads Home Summer Roads 2010 I can't tell you how good it is to be writing here again! It has been a long stretch of other projects for both of us and at last we're reconnecting in preparation for our East Coast Tour 2010. Bryan's family hails from Mirimachi, New Brunswick and my mom's family from the Truro area of Nova Scotia, so our sophomore tour of "down home" will surely feel like going home for both of us. For our Ontario fans, we'll be sure to post pics and serve up some stories and songs upon our return so stay tuned for some fall dates. Speaking of those, ask us if you're interested in TRH hosting your autumnal nuptials or a house concert in your home. In other news, we're please to announce that our first CD, Dovetailing is going into its second pressing! Not quite sure what it'll look like at this point, but we'll keep you posted on that as well. Have a tremendous summer filled with warm evenings and cool music and if you're in PEI, Cape Breton or Nova Scotia when we are, don't be a stranger! -Abby and Bryan PEI Dates: Friday August 6, 7:30 pm (doors 7pm) Memorial United Church, Murray Harbour-Murray River Saturday August 7, 7:30 pm (doors 7pm) Clifton United Church, Stratford Sunday August 8, 7:30 pm (doors 7pm) Proceeds from all shows will go to Refugee Sponsorship.

RAVES for the ROAD "Two Roads Home are able to blend diverse styles and sounds into an eclectic and cozy mixture." - Arnie Ivsins - Artistic Director, BarrieFolk "Abby and Bryan are the perfect duet - funny and entertaining with harmonic voices that I could listen to all night long!" - Lorie Blunden - Brooklin Town Crier “Excellent singers with a sense of harmony that makes their sound much bigger than just the sum of two.” -Alex Sinclair- Tamarack “ Two Roads Home has something very unique and special. They are so comfortable together. Abby has a beautiful, sweet and rich voice and she and Bryan harmonize something wonderful! ” -John and Tatjana Barr- Simple Moments Café, Lunenberg, N.S. "Solid songwriting and footstompin' fun. Feels like home." -Jenny Osburne- Union Street Café, Berwick N.S. “A blend of old and new, of raw energy, moving vocals and distilled insight.” -Alicia Arcand- Artistic Director, The Pirate Festival "Their comfortable style on stage and their roots/Celtic inspired sound have made them favourites at our folk club.” -Vicki Martel- The Vital Spark Folk Society "Limitless energy and synergy. A highlight to see live.” -Richard Mahoney- The Vankleek Hill Review "Charmingly talented, animatedly comical, a delight to take in." -Natalie Lucas- North York Harvest Food Bank
“A lovely CD – (Williston and Zotz’s) voices feel like they were designed for each other and the musicianship is top drawer.” “Comfortable but spirited vocal harmonies easily hold the listener while presenting fresh arrangements of traditional material and their own contemporary original songs.” “A sumptuous collection of tunes both contradictory and dynamic. Allison (track 6) is a pop confection.” “Their songs double as storytelling, with smart lyrics, and voices and music that are as emotive as they are distinctive.” “An excellent record!” - Allison Brown - For the Folk, CHRW, London “I really like the way TRH combines both more traditional folky elements with acoustic pop.” - Joni Sadler - Program Director, CHUO FM Ottawa "From soothing to lively. A very listenable recording." - Lee Graves - Bluffs Monitor PRAISE FOR TRH’S DEBUT CD, DOVETAILING: "A fine addition to the Celtic collection" - Holmes Hooke - " Zotz has a very fine voice. Appealing songs appealingly performed. - John Arkelian - ARTSforum, Summer/Fall 2004 "...serene, historical, contemplative, lyrical and utterly inspiring." - Marney Simmons - "Excellent singers (who) harmonize well." - Peter Massey - Green Man Review |
