Danelle Johnson and Salda Ventura met in New York City and formed a folk duo. Their music draws from Appalachian ballads and Celtic harmonies.
Their song "The Ballad of Broken Promises" drew criticism from some religious groups for its themes. They defended their artistic freedom, believing music should challenge norms. They've collaborated with cellist Yo-Yo Ma, adding depth to their sound.
Danelle handles lead vocals while Salda plays multiple instruments. Their songs "Nobody" and "Chairs" are among their notable tracks. They built a following through touring and performances, maintaining a focus on storytelling in their work.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
