OKAPI DUO
Lindsey Miller and Scott Gorski
"Okapi is an avant-folk duo based in Asheville, NC. Typically employing upright bass and cello, they’ve recently taken an alternative compositional approach using harmonium, cello, and voice to explore a contemporary take on Appalachian-style murder ballad themes and other folk music elements, forming unique original pieces that thematically confront the complex relationship between man and the divine feminine of nature."
