Patty & Craig

Patty Stevenson and Craig Siemsen are known for their gorgeous harmonies, impeccable musicianship, playful stage humor, and jewel-like original songs.  Patty says about performing, “I try for magic – nothing less! For the place that opens hearts and will move an audience to tears or smiles.”   For many years, the couple maintained solo careers, even after they married. Eventually, with the prodding of wise friends, they agreed to perform one show as a duo. Today, they continue to create and record original songs as well as their own variations on timeless pieces that often span the ages of creativity in sound.

Look to the Moon

Inspired by a Facebook post – a beautiful picture of the Blood Moon, Look to the Moon started with Craig writing songs with moon themes, though like all good songs, they very much reflected life with its joys and challenges. Although Look to the Moon started as a solo project, Patty jumped in when randomly given the song prompt “Blue Moon” that inspired her compelling piece, “Once in a Blue Moon.” Happily, this recording soon became a Patty & Craig project with Craig contributing seven songs, and Patty contributing four. 

We are beyond excited by the contributions of our guest musicians: 

Peter Roller dobro, electric guitar tremolo, electric slide guitar Marc Edelstein double bass, Frogwater featuring John Nicholson banjo and Susan Nicholson fiddle, mandolin, Reggie Bordeaux drums, bongo, conga, shaker and our amazing engineer, co-producer David Vartanian

We’d like to also thank Annie Capps, David Stokes, Gretchen Van Auken, Mary Lou Lamonda, and Anna Siemsen.
