PEACE ACTIVISTS - Steve and Kristi Nebel
Americana duo, Steve and Kristi Nebel are currently promoting their latest CD, "Raven Speaks", recorded with their songs, and the poems of Pacific Northwest poet, Duane Niatum. This internationally touring duo has been performing together for fifteen years, recorded ten albums as a duo, and three albums as founding members of "The Madrones" and "The Fabulous Filucies".
The original songs performed by Steve & Kristi Nebel have a folk or folk-rock sound, often with an American country music influence. They are becoming an item on the UK festival scene, having played several major folk festivals in the last few years. The Nebels’ continue to grace Pacific Northwest festivals with their repertoire of songs that deal with the life, history, and topography of their beloved Pacific Northwest. In 2001, 2003, and 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2008, they toured the United Kingdom from Southampton, England to Argyll, Scotland. For the last five years they have volunteered in many capacities as members of United For Peace of Pierce County, and the “Conversation”, both groups that give voice to the Nebel’s concern for social justice, including multiple benefit concerts, and helping to organize peace rallies, and the annual “SoJust” festival put on by the Conversation. In August of 2009 the Nebels accompanied the “Journey of Repentance”, an anti nuclear group to Japan, and attended the anniversary of the dropping of the atom bomb in Hiroshima, and then Nagasaki.
“. . . there's something in each of you that has the ability to connect beyond the words and music. You are a gift...that I am so grateful to receive.” Linda Frank
"No one exemplifies the socially aware musician better than Steve and Kristi Nebel. Steve and Kristi do a truly wonderful job of combining searing social concern about war and peace with a delightful spirit of love and happiness. Kristi . . . sings with a hauntingly beautiful voice which is at once ethereal and earthy." Geoff Bard, Victory Review
