Katie Buckley & Mary Lattimore

Mary Lattimore og Katie Buckley kynntust fyrst árið 1998 þegar þær voru í námi við Eastman tónlistarháskólann í New York. Þrátt fyrir að tónlistarferlar þeirra hafa verið nokkuð frábrugðnir þá liggja leiðir þeirra ítrekað saman hér á Íslandi. Það er því loksins kominn tími á að þær haldi hér sameiginlega tónleika þar sem koma við sögu tvær hörpur, nokkrir pedalar og dásemdar hljóð.

Katie Buckley hóf hörpunám þegar hún var 8 ára í borginni Atlanta og hélt náminu áfram í San Fransico undir leiðsögn Ann Adams. Katie lauk B.A. og M.A. gráðu við Eastman háskólann. Hún er einn af stofnendum listahópsins Duo Harpverk. Hún hefur tekið upp mikið með plötufyrirtækinu Bedroom Community og komið við á plötum hjá mörgum tónlistarmönnum á mismunandi sviðum. Katie spilaði einnig inn á nýjustu plötu Bjarkar 'Utopia' og fór á tónleikarferðalag með henni síðasta sumar.

Hörpuleikarinn Marie Lattimore býr í Los Angeles. Fyrsta plata hennar, The Withdrawing Room, kom út árið 2013 hjá plötufyrirtækinu Desire Path Recordings. Mary hefur einnig spilað og tekið upp með listamönnum á borð við Meg Baird, Thurston Moore, Sharon Van Etten, Jarvis Cocker, Kurt Vile, Steve Gunn, Ed Askew og Fursaxa.
