Duo Bethlehem and Sad Patrick blend blues, jazz, folk and soul into songs of love and other struggles. Combining Bethlehem’s soaring vocals and driving percussion with Sad Patrick’s sparse guitar, they deliver powerful songs about being in and out of love, keeping your head up in the city, struggling to make your way, and seeking peace on the margins. Sad Patrick’s hybrid of folk, blues and jazz playing supports Bethlehem’s “vocussion” – her powerful singing, remarkable improvisations and nuanced melodies riding atop her tarima stomps and body percussion.
