A MARRIAGE OF HARMONIES
Originally from New England, the Sibleys have been at home in the Rocky Mountain West since 1999. Singing for as long as they can remember, Anne and Pete have come many miles from their classical music training to "the people's music:" folk, bluegrass and traditional music. Using the guitar and clawhammer banjo to accompany their tight harmonies, the Sibleys tell stories about life and love as they see it, and it is this quality that rings true with audiences from coast to coast. Anne and Pete's music highlights their connection with the landscape, community, family and even the food they grow and eat. Less than a decade since they released their first album, the Sibleys' music hit the national spotlight in 2009 with a blue ribbon finish in the "Great American Duet Sing Off" on A Prairie Home Companion.
Coming Home marks the fourth release from the husband and wife duo. Featured among CD Baby's Top 5 Folk Albums of 2009, this recording reflects the Sibleys' tight harmonies, traditional and original songs, and sinple acoustic guitar and clawhammer banjo arrangements. The album contains many of Anne's vibrant originals, a handful of tracks co-written with Pete, as well as some traditional covers. On this album the Sibleys are joined by Ben Winship, adding mandolin and vocals on two songs, Eric Thorin, adding bass to their blues original "Keep These Walls from Falling In," and Rani Arbo, adding vocals on Anne's "Someone To Save Me." The album was recorded and mixed in Victor, ID at Ben Winship's Henhouse Studio. It was mastered by grammy winner David Glasser at Airshow Mastering in Boulder, CO.
