Singer Sara Colman and pianist Rebecca Nash are two musicians whose beautiful and intimate music celebrates the joy of musical partnership, friendship and collaboration. Their long-standing relationship, centred around a song they wrote together called Ribbons, has honed a musical intuition that produces the misleadingly easy sounding but musically adventurous story telling of all good singer-musician relationships. Built on a foundation of jazz, the creativity of the duo comes to the fore in their collection of songs which straddle singer-songwriter, folk and classical music with glimpses of early influences such as Joni Mitchell and British jazz pianist John Taylor.
