PEGGO & PAUL
Peggo and Paul are a husband and wife duo who, not surprisingly, met through music. When Peggo placed an ad in the Boston Phoenix looking for a guitarist to round out a budding folk trio, Paul was inspired to answer. It is the marriage of Peggo's expressive soprano with Paul's nimble guitar and producing skills that have marked their successful career. They launched their career with forays into pioneering music for kids and families with their band, Peggosus.

With teenagers instead of toddlers in the house, Peggo and Paul have moved on to record contemporary acoustic albums, A bridge between their family music and folk music, Their first self-produced and recorded album, Patchwork Quilt, A Celebration Of American Spirit (1996) won a Parent's Choice award for family listening. They have followed with two highly acclaimed acoustic recordings, Winter's Light, Celebrate the Holidays (1999) and Summer Nights, Lullabies And Soothing Songs (2002). They have also released a best-of compilation of their four recordings titled Stand Up, Speak Out, a benefit for autistic children. Peggo's voice has been called "sultry", "smooth", " supple" and "astonishing". Paul's guitar stylings are hailed for elegance and taste. Together, their recordings are American Classics...
