Kentucky-born cellist and composer Ben Sollee likes to keep moving. He kicked off 2014 with the release of his score for the documentary film Maidentrip. That same year, he performed at Carnegie Hall as part of a tribute to Paul Simon, and was on the road supporting songwriter William Fitzsimmons.

Orchestral pop piano-violin duo Gracie and Rachel craft intricate tunes combining classical string elements with haunting, fierce vocals, augmented by sparse but powerful percussion. Ivory satin lined with teeth, the duo find beauty in stark simplicity, pausing to breathe a hint of the abstract into the highly emotive, evolved body they create. Through their music, the two young women use lyric and sound to flip common preconceptions on their heads.
