For nearly 30 years Kendra Ward and Bob Bence have delighted audiences across North America, the British Isles and Europe, entertaining at cafes, clubs, colleges, concert halls, festivals, subway stations and street corners. Their music, just like themselves, comes from the hills of Appalachia, where their ancestors settled two centuries ago. They have inherited a rich musical legacy, handed down through the generations, and they make music with such authenticity that Derek Bell of the Chieftains told them, "Your originals are so much 'a part of the tradition,' that I was surprised to read the liner notes and discover they were originals!" Performers, such as Kendra Ward and Bob Bence, with such deep roots in tradition are a rarity these days, and like the tradition itself, are sure to be treasured!
