Unity in the Valley, 17630 S. Camino de Las Quintas, Sahuarita, AZ 85629
Unity in the Valley continues their dynamic duos concert season featuring Tucson-based acoustic duo, RISO, with Amber Norgaard and Sabra Faulk opening the evening. For the last decade, Matt and Rebekah Rolland, who form the core of the acoustic band RISO of Tucson, Arizona, have been on the road with their nationally-acclaimed Americana band, Run Boy Run, participated as artists-in-residence for the National Parks Centennial, appeared twice on American Public Media's "A Prairie Home Companion and collaborated on eight studio albums. RISO is rooted in the acoustic soundscapes of their respective childhoods, and embraces an old-time aesthetic that seems to emanate from the very bones of the earth yet incorporates pop flourishes and sometimes complex arrangements. Their new album "New Eyes" was released July 15, 2022 and ranked in the top albums of 2022 by For Folk's Sake. Their 2018 album, Seed & Silo, co-produced by the two for Rebekah’s National Parks residency, was dubbed “a slice of folk perfection” by Americana UK and placed in the top three of Pop Matters’ Best Folk Albums of the Year.
