Longtime friends and collaborators River Scheuerell & Eros Faulk have been playing together in various forms since childhood. After creating captivating performances with unique and dynamic arrangements as members of the REDS, they now bring their energy and expertise to the world of contemporary traditional music. Together and separately, the pair have performed extensively across the PNW and beyond, appearing alongside some of the most renowned names in traditional music today – Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas, Darol Anger, Rushad Eggleston, Caleb Klauder & Reeb Willms, Kalos, John Whelan, We Banjo 3, to name a few.
On their new self-titled record (their first as a duo), River and Eros weave together classic and forgotten tunes into epic and captive medleys. Both showcasing their multi-instrumental talents, the pair spent the several months between 2024-2025 crafting these pieces in both of their own home recording studios. Each medley on the album came about without a strict formula, but rather, experimentation and intuition that manifested in the form of authentic and captivating musical conversation. The culmination of roughly 15 years of collaboration, River and Eros’ latest work is a testament to their deep creative connection and dedication to the craft of traditional music.
