Concerts

We are thrilled to present Steve and Kristi Nebel for our October 18 concert.

Steve and Kristi Nebel (pron. knee bull) bring passion, finesse, and beauty to their audiences with their songs of social justice,  knife-edge observations, stories they have picked up in their travels, and pure, simple love.  They have traveled extensively, having done nine tours in UK folk clubs and festivals and toured the Midwest and east coast.  They have recorded more than ten CDs, mostly of their own songs.  Kristi’s solo CD, for which she was nominated “western swing female performer of the year” in 2014 is a combination of traditional western swing and Steve’s Americana songs.  The Nebel’s style is informed by a wealth of experience playing their instruments and lending their voices to the other for a blend that exceeds the sum of two parts.

They are known for their working portrayals of fishermen and common people in Steve’s songwriting.  “Raven Speaks” is a collaboration with Native American poet Duane Niatum.  It is a commentary on global climate change using “Raven” of Native American mythology as a main character in some of the songs, and certainly in Niatum’s poetry.

Their most recent production, “Tandem,” is the most sparse of their recordings, and features only bass guitar, acoustic guitar, and their two voices. 

Steve and Kristi Nebel perform for 3RFS on Saturday, October 18, 7:30 pm, at All Saints Episcopal Church, 1322 Kimball Ave., in Richland.  Park in the back and enter through the basement.

Tickets ($20 general, $15 for 3RFS members) can be purchased at the door or online HERE.
