Last year Betse & Clarke released ”River Still Rise,” a collection of originals and reworked traditional compositions presented “to be enjoyed as a musical adventure, much like the river exploration of the famous duo Lewis & Clark, an inspiration for the band’s name.” Betse & Clarke will share music from their brand new upcoming release, “Tunes We Like,” that is being released digitally and on cassette.
