Mandolinist and Breedlove artist Chris Emerson has been busy lately. Very busy. He just launched a new website (www.chrisandty.com), he's playing shows around the country, and is simultaneously working on a new album with guitarist and songwriter Ty Bennett. Chris and Ty have been recording and performing professionally for 15 years with Candlewyck and their mandolin/guitar duo Natty Boh, earning the respect of musicians and music lovers alike. Their unique sound is a combination of Ty's refined, yet witty compositions and Chris's fluid and inventive mandolin approach. The product of this pairing is a completely fresh and original style of acoustic music that defies categorization. Ty is a true craftsman whose writing is at once clever, heartfelt, and intellectual. His songs are not merely complimented but exalted by Chris's precise soloing and exceptional rhythmic technique.The award-winning duo is currently booking and playing shows, all while putting the finishing touches on their forthcoming album, due to be released 2013.
