New CD “1000 Miles” review Feb 2019

“This album is just what Folk DJs need right now. It’s got positivity, energy, and the kindness of spirit we’ve grown to expect from this duo. “1000 Miles” careens down a dirt road, kicking up dusty folk and bluegrass traditions while whipping in original arrangements of roots and Americana. After all those miles, it’s clear that Bettman & Halpin have found a new stride. It’s got a few barnburnin’ bangers, but it’s well balanced with some achingly honest ballads. Thankfully, they’ve kept their heartfelt storytelling and lyrics at the center of everything – and that’s no easy feat when the strings fly as fast as these two can send them.” — Jenny Inzerillo High Plains Public Radio Feb 4, 2019
