Born continents and cultures apart, this dynamic duo delivers a captivating fusion of Venezuelan and Appalachian folk music on harp, banjo, cuatro, fiddle, maracas and more. Venezuela-born Larry Bellorín is a legend of Llanera music, a rhythmic folk tradition from his home country. Forced to seek political asylum in North Carolina, the multi-instrumentalist met Grammy-nominated bluegrass and old-time musician Joe Troop, founder of the acclaimed “Latingrass” band Che Appalache. Together, their stories converge through a unique blend of musical traditions — demonstrating that music truly knows no borders.

LISTEN: Hear the artists perform and learn more about their unique stories — including how their destinies intertwined — in this episode of NPR’s Here & Now: wbur.fm/3X2fB6e

“Their virtuosity is jaw-dropping live … they both take great, transcendent joy in making this music together, and that kind of joy is contagious.” — Folk Alley

Melissa Carper and Theo Lawrence barely knew each other when they started singing songs together in the fall of 2023. Little introduction was needed to get down to action (get down to business or get into the action) because what these two were supposed (intended or meant?) to do together went without saying : songs needed to be written, harmonies had to be sung and an album must be made.

This visionary trio is back in Asheville by popular demand to deliver another round of virtuosic performance with its signature humor and insight. Be sure to get your tickets early for this audience favorite, consistently praised for their masterful sensitivity and nuance, ultra-refined musicianship, tight ensemble work and musical intelligence.
