'Acoustic Heaven!'-- Boston Globe 'Irresistible, melodic, sensual, folkie grit, and killer wit!'-- Washington Post 'The most sophisticated act in folk; acerbic, funny, plaintive, Buskin & Batteau are breathing new life into the genre.'-- New York Times Grammy-, Emmy-, Gold Record-sharing singer/songwriter/soloists David Buskin (piano) and Robin Batteau (acoustic/electric violin), from writing theme songs for Harry Chapin's Why?Hunger, Marlo Thomas's 'Thanks & Giving' and 'Free to Be a Family,' Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, Bill Clinton's 1992 winning Presidential campaign; performing hundreds of concerts for charities and non-profits; writing songs for and with Judy Collins, Tom Rush, Astrud Gilberto, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Peter Paul & Mary, the Oak Ridge Boys, Jane Olivor, Johnny Mathis, Anne Murray, Lucy Kaplansky; recording with Marc Cohn, Shawn Colvin, Bill Morrissey, Christine Lavin, Nanci Griffith, Josh White Jr.; jamming with Benny Goodman, Bruce Springsteen, YoYo Ma, Bonnie Raitt, James Taylor; they still call themselves 'hopelessly romantic,' 'defiantly immature,' and 'usually hungry.' So if music be the food of love, let's eat!
