VIOLET BELL in SERENBE

Violet Bells original Americana is woven from threads of folk, soul, bluegrass, psychedelic, and classical music. On stage and in the studio, the energy between Lizzy Ross and Omar Ruiz-Lopez is fiery, intimate and intuitive. Based out of Durham, the pair have played shows from Montreal to Miami since forming in 2016, resulting in a strong onstage chemistry thats evident in person and in videos of these live performances.

The two share a mutual love of rock, hip-hop and R&B that finds its way into their traditionally rooted music. Shes a songwriter, Im a composer and multi-instrumentalist, and our ability to meld those abilities and genres works well for us, Ruiz-Lopez says. The world of songwriting is a very interesting one as opposed to purely instrumental, classical music. Theres more stylistic freedom. Combining those singer-songwriter qualities with orchestral technique allows us to create interesting textures around our message.

Ross channels the spirit of Eva Cassidy, and Ruiz-Lopezs violin performance is chocolate; one of the richest-sounding I have ever heard. A very beautiful canvas of earthy, acoustic music, with some of the best arrangements I have heard on this show Absolutely gorgeous. Michael Johnathon, Woodsongs Old-Time Radio Hour
