Cliff Art brings together an eclectic combination of traditional and alternative music into a rich sonic collaboration.
Cliff Art combines the timbres of Appalachian lap dulcimers, 8-string bass, and Chapman Grand Stick™ to create original music that attracts a widely diverse audience. Cliff Art's rich and unique style eludes classification, drawing influences from straight-ahead rock-n-roll to alternative to new age to folk. Occasionally, you might even hear strains of Stravinsky or a techno beat.
This unique duo holds something for everyone, from the most intimate setting to the club scene. Listeners' observations range from "Japanese Extra-Terrestrial Fusion Jazz" to "Bluegrass in the year 2000." If you want thoughtfulness and intelligence, if you want soothing music, if you want sly, introspective wit, tap into the music of Cliff Art.
