I wanted to throw out a huge congratulations to Pete and Anne Sibley for winning the The Great American Duet Singoff on my favorite NPR program “A Prairie Home Companion”. I’ve been listening to “A Prairie Home Companion” since I was a youngster growing up in eastern South Dakota. The show always brings back memories of summertime road trips to northern Minnesota (Up North!) with my grandparents in the old Buick. Anyway, while I was down in Arizona for my grandfather’s 85th birthday, my uncle was all excited to tell me that a couple from Jackson Hole won the competition. I said “well it must have been Pete and Anne!”. Of course it was! They’re amazingly talented. One judge at the competition even “wondered if there wasn’t something extra that such partners bring to the microphone as they try to harmonize their lives”.

Pete and Anne Sibley: A marriage of harmonies featuring folk, bluegrass, blues, and traditional music.
“Anne and Pete love to get right to the heart of their audience. For the husband and wife duo it is about the vocals, the words and the harmonies. Accompanied on guitar and banjo theirs is a traditional yet original sound. Anne & Pete have been singing together since they met in their high school choir. They were inspired by duet performers of traditional acoustic music when they began performing at the local Hootenanny in Jackson, Wyo. where they are based. Anne’s powerful vocals and songwriting paired with Pete’s solid melodic clawhammer banjo playing and harmonies highlight their recordings and live performances.
Since 2004 they have been offering their blend of original folk, bluegrass, old-timey and traditional songs to wider audiences. In 2008 they continue to play folk & bluegrass festivals across the nation. They are grateful for the opportunity to share their original and traditional music.”
