RISO

Update for our show tonight with Freddy & Francine at Club Congress...sadly, Bekah's down for the count with a bug and currently without a voice. It's never a convenient time to get sick, but this is a particularly unfortunate time--we've been so excited for this show! We've recruited a friend (ironically a Freddy to stay on theme) to join Matt and Thoger onstage for a set of music at 7:30 PM. Hope to still see you there tonight. Freddy and Francine to follow at 8:30 PM.

This afternoon at Borderlands Brewing Company - Sounds of History: Folk! This has been a fun collaborative fundraiser to put together in partnership with the UA Public History Collaborative and Tucson Folk Festival. RISO is at 2:15 PM, followed by our friends , Cadillac Mountain, and Kevin Pakulis Official. Plus three music history talks (and great beverages). See ya there!

What's this?! A rare sighting of the RISO bird? And paired up with the Laura Jean flock for a harmony-laden Americana, country, and folk flight. See you then!

Happy New Year 🎊🎈 Honored to be ringing in 2023 with a nod from For Folk's Sake top albums of the year, and by playing an evening of music for a friend’s wedding in the deserts north of Tucson. Much joy and music to all of you in the new year!

“RISO – New Eyes
Arizona roots mainstays Matt & Rebekah Rolland take their folk leanings to the next level as RISO, a spousal duo with the chops to take the world on in the same way that Watkins Family Hour have. A fine collection of vocally-driven and instrumental tracks make for a gorgeous folk release verging on traditional, though progressive riffs and Rebekah’s pristine tone set them a step above the rest.”

This Week: RISO Show in Green Valley - https://mailchi.mp/15444be18e51/upcoming-shows-events-14452753

Still reeling from a great round of shows this last weekend! Highlights: playing in the historic Elks Ballroom, overlooking downtown Prescott; watching a room full of volunteers pack 25,000 meals and furnishing em with some fiddle tunes in the downtime; and warming the stage for the incomparable at . There’s nothing like a good, soulful sea-shanty washing over you, and a crowd of people singing along to every word. Serious magic. Thanks to all who came out! 🌊
