Root 2 Music draw on two roots of American music, Celtic and Deep South Country Blues. The duo consists of David Frank (guitar, slide guitar, harmonica, vocals) and Mary Beth Coffey (fiddle, percussion, vocals). David began Root 2 Music with Nancy Reid over 15 years ago and they have won recognition at the Appalachian String Band Festival (Clifftop) and at the International Blues Challenge (Beale Street, Memphis). Recently, Nancy has moved on and her sister, Mary Beth, has taken over on fiddle and vocals. Mary Beth played with the successful Celtic group “Beggar’s Circus”. Now David and Mary Beth enjoy making music together as Root 2 Music.
