Rebecca and Andy met while teaching in the Peace Corps. They’ve been playing together ever since, starting around campfires in Armenia, then the streets of Chicago, and now in bars and coffee shops around the Twin Cities. Their third child never missed a gig (for her first nine months), despite the loud thump of Rebecca’s giant acoustic bass just inches from her head. The Falderals take their name from an old nonsense folk lyric (“fal-de-ral diddle-o-day”) and have been compared to The Civil Wars and Simon and Garfunkel (if Garfunkel had been a woman). They've been featured on The Current's Radio Heartland and KFAI's House Party, and they perform regularly at The Aster Cafe, Ward 6, The 331, The Underground Music Cafe, and Dunn Brothers on Grand. Hailed by the Superior Telegram as a "true taste of American folk music," their buttered harmonies and foot-stomping instrumentation will take you on journeys through ghost towns and wooded bike trails, bars and bright-lighted cities; and while you travel with them, you’ll somehow feel right at home.
