:ith 1 instruments be-
tween them and 53 strings,
Salt Lake City-based duo Pe-
ter and Mary Danzig burst
onto the national folk scene
in 212 with back-to-back hit
albums as Otter Creek. Often
compared to Dave Carter and
Tracy Grammer, the duo’s
classical training, combined
with Peter’s deep roots in the
folk tradition, enable them to
cross boundaries of musical
genres.
Since they began playing
together, the couple has won
numerous awards for their
virtuosic instrumentals, adept
songwriting, and visionary ar-
rangements of traditional and
original tunes. Their daughters
(The Three Muses) travel and
perform with them. Drawing
frequent comparisons to the
Peasall Sisters, the Muses’
three-part harmony and infec-
tious charm put a smile on ev-
ery face in the room.
Currently touring coast to
coast, Otter Creek has drawn
praise from around the country
as “a duo that is both a techni-
cal marvel and tastefully per-
fect.´ They have Must ¿nished
their third album, “The Fiddle
Preacher.”
