"Alisa and Kimball are a fresh folk duo with gorgeous harmonies, an exquisite blend of acoustic instruments and insightful lyrics that speak directly to the heart."- Monterey County Weekly.
Monterey Bay-based, Alisa Fineman and Kimball Hurd have earned national acclaim for their singing, songwriting and world music repertoire. Known for her 'deep, emotional singing voice,' Alisa's background in sacred music adds a compelling world music component to this duo's lush repertoire. She is perfectly complemented by multi-instrumentalist and singer songwriter Kimball Hurd, best known for his role in City Folk. A Bammie (Bay Area Music Association) award winner, Kimball offers up songs from his own catalog of powerful originals such as his widely covered song "Shine". His instrumental prowess adds dimension to the duo's performances with vocal harmonies and an array of tasteful musical accents on guitar, mandolin, mandola, dobro, banjo and slide guitar.
Their engaging, down to earth and loving collaboration has earned them appearances at at festivals such as California's Strawberry, Kate Wolf Music Festival, Austin's South-By-Southwest, the Kerrville Folk Festival and Jacob's Ladder Folk Festival in Israel. Their appreciation for the ordinary miracles of every day infuses their songs, which sing to a sense of place, possibility and deeper meaning in all of us.
