The
Rhythm Angels are Celeste Krenz and Rebecca
Folsom. Celeste hails from the ranch country
of North Dakota; Rebecca from the mountains of
Colorado. As happens with traveling troubadours,
their careers circumvented each other for years
until one night, as if by fate, they were scheduled
to perform together in-the-round at the Bluebird
Cafe in Nashville, TN. Inspired by the richness of
the harmonies that came through their very different
textured voices, Krenz and Folsom, began to perform
in the round on a regular basis. After sold out
shows at Colorado's Rialto Theater and Swallow Hill
Music Hall, it was clear audiences felt the magic
too. Their sound has been described as enchanting
and transportive, at times angelic and then earthy.
Their chemistry on stage is funny and open- hearted.
Audiences relish in their songs that tell stories of
love an hope. The song ‘Girls Like Us’, for
instance states, “Girls like us aren’t scared of
love, we look it in the eye, we try we let it change
us”, while another favorite, ‘If I Had a Gun’
reveals that these two songwriters do not shy away
from darker subjects…”If I Had a Gun, you’d be
dead, one to the heart, one to the head…if I had a
gun, I’d drive away, I’d drive away…I’d
drive away.” The beautiful sound of their voices,
the depth and straight forward quality of their
songwriting, and their easy going delivery, have
audiences nodding yes in agreement to the great
contrast in what it is to be human. Getting right to
the heart of the matter, the Rhythm Angels come
bearing beautiful gifts of simple truths, hope and
beauty.
