With nothing more than voice and guitar, Tuck & Patti have quietly changed the world. Not as revolutionaries, though their music can stir passions deeper than those heated by angry agitation. Theirs is a style based on exquisite miniature gestures that will captivate listeners even more than flamboyant avant indulgences.Band/artist history
With nothing more than voice and guitar, Tuck & Patti have quietly changed the world, but not as revolutionaries, though their music can stir passions deeper than those heated by angry agitation. Theirs is a style based on exquisite miniature gestures that will captivate listeners even more than flamboyant avant indulgences.
No, the sound of Tuck & Patti is a seed that nestles and grows in the garden of the imagination. It opens slowly, like a blossom that somehow spreads as much light as it draws, until the last shards of darkness disappear. Like sun and gentle rain on hard-caked earth, it can work miracles.
Through whispered ballads as well as playful swing, through a style that tempers simplicity with brisk flashes of virtuosity, Tuck Andress & Patti Cathcart have cast this magic for years -- but now, they are on their eleventh album, Live in Holland recorded in both DVD, with two CDs in Groningen (north-east Holland).
Its source, according to Tuck, is the decision he and Patti made years ago to pursue their art within limitations other musicians would consider severe. "Because it's just the two of us, we're probably halfway crazy from getting so far into each detail," he admits. "And after you decide to do only what you can do with a live voice and a live guitar, without turning tone controls or adding effects, the next step is to pretend that each song we do is the only song in the world and treat it with that kind of respect. That has also supported Patti's compositional process: Each song becomes its own little universe."
These universes, and the unity they achieve on their CDs, are the duo's greatest triumph to date -- an affirmation of the beliefs that sustain them in music and in life.
