Harmony and Grits Bio
Accomplished solo artists Rick Meisterheim and Kelly Shively have put their talents
together pleasing audiences with their amazing variety, great harmony and delightful
humor. Kelly's fiddle, clawhammer banjo, Celtic harp and ringing soprano voice,
blended with Rick's full-sound finger picking style guitar, banjo, mandolin, bouzouki,
mountain dulcimer and strong baritone voice have been summed up by the word, "rich".
Their rich blend of roots music styles would include: mountain, folk, bluegrass, Celtic,
country, and old-time, bringing an enjoyable variety to every set. They share
themselves through a well-fitted repertoire of their originals, as well as other fine
artists' materials played with their own unique flavor.
As solo artists, they have performed at various venues including festivals, concerts,
coffee houses, dinner lodges, rallies, schools and camps around the country. This
newly formed duet can be heard regularly in northern Michigan.
