For Anne and Pete Sibley, it is the simplicity of the music: the words, the vocals, the harmonies. The storytelling and intimate nature of their original songs has drawn fans and encouraged the husband and wife duo to keep delivering. They aren’t afraid of making music that is personal, paring it down, staying true to their instincts.
Raised in New England singing in choirs, studying all types of music except folk and bluegrass, Anne and Pete stumbled upon their true calling when they moved west to Jackson Hole. They consider folk and bluegrass the people’s music, nature’s music, and they sing it freely and graciously. In April 2009, the Sibleys took top honors in the ‘Great American Duet Sing-Off’ on NPR’s A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor. This prestigious accolade has helped launch them onto the national music scene.
Anne and Pete have recorded four well-received albums, including one for Christmas. They celebrated their newest release, Coming Home, in April 2009. Of the album Will You Walk With Me, music journal Bluegrass Now writes, “What emerges front and center are the couple’s transcendent harmonies, vocal renditions that embellish already artful songwriting.” CD Baby raves, “this duo is bound for greatness, with their stripped-down but stunning original songs and choice covers.”
