Funky folk or fusion folk music, with a small tincture of hard rock or prog rock...mostly acoustic...heavily influenced by a blend of impressionistic classical music and prog rock....stop by for a LISTEN and tell us what YOU think we sound like!! R&J
Sytek and Davies is a Fusion-Folk duet featuring Jane Sytek and Rick Davies; although the music is orignial, the band has a sound that at times harkens back to the late 60’s experimental/folk-rock revolution. The Music Paper (NY) said of Sytek and Davies "...these songs have the feel and stateliness of centuried old folk classics." Black Hawk College (Illinois) said "...awesome! Your music and spirit touch people in beautiful ways."
