Listen
to Paul & Win.
Paul & Win Grace
toured throughout North America and performed American roots and
contemporary folk music. These high-energy, versatile vocalists and
multi-instrumentalists delighted audiences of all ages with their
close harmonies, warm stage presence, and skill on fiddle, mandolin,
guitar, harmonica, autoharp, piano, accordion and feet (le pied
by Win-- seated clogging!). As one fan
commented, "They make a lot of music
for only two people!"
Their music included a large repertoire of American roots music (including
old time string band and traditional folk) and selections from the wide body of
contemporary folk songs
(including several originals by daughters Leela and Ellie Grace). Paul &
Win also incorporated gospel and old country
music into their shows.
Their high energy performances included songs that range from silly to romantic to exciting.
Vocals were an integral part of Paul & Win's music; they loved to make
their voices blend in close country duet harmony. This is not to diminish the
importance of their instruments. They liked to try out all possible combinations
of their many instruments, from the old time string band sound of the fiddle and
accordion or fiddle and piano to the romantic tones of the guitar, mandolin and autoharp.
