Description
Colorado-based sibling duo, The Hydes, recently released their debut album, Green & Blue, which weaves creatively and decisively through an eclectic musical landscape of American folk, Irish, bluegrass, and beyond. They imaginatively merge their acoustic styles to create textured instrumentals and rich vocal harmonies in a way that speaks unmistakably of roots in Colorado and Ireland, as well as visits to places in between.

The album features guest appearances from a host of noted Irish musicians including Tadhg Ó Meachair (piano/piano accordion) and Colm Phelan (bodhrán) of award-winning band Goitse, Alan Reid (banjo), and Christina Dolphin (flute), as well as American bluegrass/folk/jazz bassist Eric Thorin (Matt Flinner Trio, Mollie O'Brien).

Joanna (fiddle, vocals) and Iain (guitar, mandolin, vocals) grew up in a musical family in Denver, Colorado, and traveled the country to share their music at festivals, house concerts, workshops, and various venues from their elementary school days onward. From gigs in Nashville to Ireland, sold-out shows at home in Colorado and the Western USA, and most recently Iceland, The Hydes continue to expand their exploratory musical scope on a path that includes Irish, Cape Breton, Texas swing, bluegrass, swing, blues, and classic American folk styles.

Iain, an award-winning fiddle, mandolin, and guitar player, has performed, composed and taught music across the USA and abroad. Paired with his spark for musical exploration, Iain's versatility as a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, songwriter, and composer greatly expands the range of possibilities for this duo.
