Robin Holcomb & Peggy Lee: Behind The Delicate Sound Of 'Reno'
Click the play button to listen
These two musicians have been creating music together for the better part of two decades. Their new album, Reno (Songlines), captures something rare: the kind of musical conversation that happens when two artists know each other's musical language inside and out. Robin's songs draw from American folk traditions while her piano work moves into territories that feel both classical and completely free. Peggy brings a cello sound that's equally at home with composed melodies and total improvisation.
Their collaboration encompasses everything from Robin's early song cycles about utopian communities in the Pacific Northwest to pieces that came from her work on the Donner Party saga. It's music that's hard to categorize, which makes it all the more worth your time.
This conversation in the Fall of 2024, off-hours and in person at Seattle music venue The Royal Room.
