Abe & Bethany Okie hail from Atlanta, GA, USA, where he was a church musician and she performed on musical theatre stages around the city. Their music reflects the rich musical heritage of their childhoods in the American South. While it was classic rock and folk music (Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Neil Young) that drew him to music, more recently he's immersed himself in indie artists like Sufjan Stevens and Arcade Fire as well as the western classical music that he teaches at Woodstock School. Meanwhile, Bethany cut her teeth singing. Broadway tunes and jazz standards, but nearly everyone who heard her sing said, "that voice was meant to sing country music". As performers they draw upon the best of these diverse traditions to create a panorama of American music that is both unique and pleasingly unpredictable.
