Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul & Mary performs with soulful, folk jazz duo Bethany & Rufus, featuring Yarrow's daughter Bethany and virtuoso cellist Rufus Cappadocia. Folk classics like "Puff, The Magic Dragon" and "Blowin' in the Wind" meet Bethany & Rufus' blend of contemporary jazz, soul, roots and world music.
A successful artist and activist, Peter Yarrow's talent is legendary. His gift for songwriting has produced some of the most moving songs that Peter, Paul & Mary have recorded, including "Puff, The Magic Dragon," "Day Is Done," and "Light One Candle." This musical creativity has always gone hand-in-hand with Yarrow's commitment to social change.
Bethany & Rufus are an incredible cello and voice duo that slide elegantly between soul, funk and folk. Rufus, the first call groove/Hendrix cellist in NYC, is jaw-droppingly talented and creates a bed of deep groove over which Bethany sings with a grace and power that is rare in today's music scene.
"There's no denying that in a world where a lot of fluffy pop passes as folk, Bethany and Rufus-in taking a more original road-have come up with the real deal." -ALLMUSIC.COM
"Bethany delivers low, smoky tones that call to mind Nina Simone or Cassandra Wilson. With stunning imagination" -Goldmine MAGAZINE
