'No less than renowned country music historian Bill Malone calls Kristy Larson "one of the shining lights of Madison roots music". Her light burns even brighter as she joins forces with husband and multi-instrumentalist Mark Roeder. Together, they're a midwestern Rawlins and Welch. Individually, they've enjoyed a long road of country music experience that has shown
them the way to the new trio.' Andy Moore
