“Ma” as in Mamma
“Muse” as in the one who inspires
With deep roots in the folk and gospel traditions, and their hearts in the present, MaMuse – Sarah Nutting and Karisha Longaker – create uplifting music for the next seven generations to thrive on.
Interweaving brilliant and haunting harmony with lyrics born of honed emotional intelligence, MaMuse invokes a musical presence that inspires the opening of the heart. Playing a family of varied acoustic instruments including upright bass, guitar, mandolins, ukulele, and flutes, and backed by inspired drummer Mike Wofchuck these two powerful women embody a love for all of life.
The synergy that is created through this musical connection is palpable and truly moving to witness.
MaMuse took 1st place in Prairie Home Companion’s Duet Contest in 2012

Fula Brothers
Mamadou Sidibe, Walter Strauss, Kendrick Freeman
Fula Brothers is the high spirited meeting of three seasoned touring performers – each of whom has spent decades pursuing the shared heartbeat in music from around the globe. Here is a history filled with inter-continental collaborations and colorful apprenticeships, from West Africa and Scotland to Haiti and the US. Mamadou Sidibe, Walter Strauss, and Kendrick Freeman weave together West African hunters harp, fingerstyle guitar, drums, vocals, and a bounty of improvisation to create an ecstatic groove-based dialogue, which the heart – and the feet – cannot resist.
