The eclectic, acoustic-oriented sound of Addi & Jacq is not exactly easy to categorize, but that hasn’t prevented the NYC-based duo from acquiring an enthusiastic and diverse following.
 
Coming from very different backgrounds, their individual styles have blended to create a soulful mix of folk, classical, jazz, pop and R&B. Their greatest musical inﬂuences are drawn from Nellie McKay, Feist, Paul Simon, & Rufus Wainwright.
 
The title track “Less Likely Places" was loosely based on a Craigslist post from a woman in Arizona, “You can find something great in the less likely places”. Her story would ultimately be the impetus for creating the album.

House Of The Rising Sun (Cover)

Recently crowned the “best emerging band in NYC” as winners of the 2015 NPR-WNYC Battle of the Boroughs, Addi & Jacq (armed with nothing more than vocals and a harp) have created a diverse and compelling body of music. The variety in Addi and Jacq’s output can be partly attributed to their wide range of musical influences, which they said include everyone from Mozart to Radiohead, Rufus Wainwright to Paul Simon. While some buzz with quick vocals and smart rhymes, others bubble slowly with blended voices. All are grounded by skilled writing, singing, and playing.
 
The Los Angeles Times praised vocalist Addi McDaniel as a “a powerhouse with a brass-plated voice,” and paired with “exceptionally virtuosic and sensitive harpist” Jacqueline Kerrod (Classical Source Online) they bring you a sound that "transcends genre, unlike anything you've heard before” (Bob Power, grammy-winning producer).
 
They perform regularly in New York and collectively their venues include Avery Fisher Hall, Birdland, Carnegie Hall, Joe’s Pub, Rockwood Music Hall, Radio City Music Hall, and The Metropolitan Opera House. Upcoming performances are set for The Apollo, Highline Ballroom and WNYC's Greene Space, check website for dates.
