[dcab-l] Tonight! Leela & Ellie Grace in Takoma Park

Tonight, the Institute of Musical Traditions and Bruce Molsky
present Leela and Ellie Grace. Join us at 8:00 pm at the Takoma Park
Community Center.

Leela and Ellie are singers, multi-instrumentalists, songwriters, and
percussive dancers who grew up traveling across North America
performing with their parents as The Grace Family. For the past 13
years, they have been making a name for themselves around the country
as a duo, in addition to offering solo appearances, and touring with
nationally-known bands. Leela (banjo, guitar) and Ellie (mandolin,
guitar, fiddle) have been acclaimed by audiences and fellow musicians
alike for their powerful voices, close sisterly harmonies, warm stage
presence, and driving old-time instrumentals.

Leela and Ellie's music has a strong grounding in traditional American
and Old-time string band styles, but crosses over into the
contemporary folk realm, including their own compelling original
songs. They recorded three albums with the Grace Family (in addition
to doing studio work with other musicians) and have released two
recordings as a duo. The sisters have performed at prestigious venues
across the United States and Canada, ranging from the Winnipeg Folk
Festival to the Lincoln Center in New York City to the Summer Solstice
Festival in Los Angeles.

Master old-time musician Bruce Molsky says:

"Leela and Ellie's vocal duets possess a depth of feeling that comes
from being around traditional music all their lives. Their
instrumentals are bright, strong and tight. This will be an uplifting,
fun night of good old-time music (and some very fine flatfoot dancing
too!)"
