Artist History The musical phoenix known as folk rock has once again risen from the ashes. The genre first took wing in the 1960s with the Byrds. It's been shot down many times since. First, by the screaming feedback of acid rock, then by punk's spitting fury and finally by grunge navel-gazing. But once again, folk rock's flying on shimmering harmonies and pop hooks. Some of the purveyors of this clean sound have recently landed in Bedford Hills by way of Canada.

Press Reviews In the late '90s, acoustic duos are seemingly ubiquitous in American coffeehouses and microbreweries. The vast majority of these neo-folkies sound withered and weedy, if not downright anemic. Fortunately, Legato Grace employ an instinctive drummer on their melodic musings. Gary Schwartz's percussion provides a gossamer-thin bottom on which Mr. Dall and Ms. Genyk stack layers of harmony.
