Wayne Long and Arthetta Faye are contemporary performers with eclectic roots
deep in Americana. Their melodic style is the result of a magical combination
comprised of very different influences, from the guitar finger-picking of John
Hurt, Merle Travis and Chet Atkins, to the high lonesome sounds of bluegrass
and the innovative autoharp of Maybelle Carter. Wayne is a fluent
instrumentalist on both modern flat-top and vintage resophonic guitars, and
Arthetta’s autoharp and vocals provide a surprisingly effective counterpoint, for a
beautiful, intoxicating, and unexpected blend of traditions. Whether they are
playing traditional folk or modern country, country blues or original compositions,
their music is sheer listening pleasure at its finest.
