Fans of acts like Alison Krauss and Indigo Girls will find kinship in the songs of Clymer & Kurtz. The folk-rock singer-songwriter duo has been collaborating for decades, honing ethereal harmonies that drive their emotion-stirring songs. Relying on guitars and keys (with the occasional inclusion of percussion) for accompaniment, Maria Clymer and Christopher Kurtz’ intense yet gentle melodies coalesce in stripped-down arrangements that are rich and textured. The musical intimacy pairs perfectly with the smaller crowd and summer setting afforded by the grassy vantage point overlooking the venue.
