On Friday, July 17, the me&thee will sponsor its first "virtual concert" since choosing to put our live shows on "pause" until it is safe to meet in person once again. Join us as we welcome Harvey Reid and Joyce Andersen who form a rare and versatile musical partnership, combining the best of American virtuoso instrumental work with razor-sharp harmony singing and a captivating stage presence. This dynamic duo takes to their own stage from their home in Maine and will entertain with a rich and varied repertoire, an arsenal of stringed instruments, and a deeply-satisfying emotional purity, with a fresh northern New England sensibility, free from showbiz and pretense.

Joyce Andersen and Harvey Reid have combined their talents to create one of the most potent duos in acoustic music. They are both gifted instrumentalists, strong and versatile singers, and prolific songwriters, and are comfortable in a dizzying array of styles of roots and Americana music. They jump from showstopping Celtic jigs and old-time fiddle tunes to house-shaking blues rockers, soaring gospel duets, and achingly beautiful ballads. Reid’s legendary acoustic and slide guitar work make a perfect backdrop for Andersen’s powerful fiddling, and they take turns on lead and harmony vocals to showcase a large and interesting repertoire of original, traditional and contemporary music. They have brought audiences to their feet at folk & bluegrass festivals, clubs, coffeehouses and concert halls across the US and in Europe and have released 32 highly-acclaimed albums between them.
