Louise Coombe and George Mallas met a couple years back and have been making beautiful sounds together ever since. The two different styles they deliver and how their voices mesh had an instant chemistry evidenced by how audiences love their duets and song swapping.
Louise Coombe grew up in McEwen, TN on a cattle farm - riding horses and writing poetry. She began writing songs after college while working in TV/radio in Knoxville.
Louise started writing songs about the South – what she knew and where she grew up. In 2008, she began working on a new album eventually to be called “Home” because she’d come full circle in her “voice” as a writer. The album was a mix of bluegrass, country and folk and as she weaved in lush stories and songs about southern life, she was even introduced once as “…William Faulkner with a guitar”. With those songs, she entered some song contests connected to festivals and ended up winning top awards at Kerrville Folk Festival, Wildflower! Festival, Telluride Bluegrass Festival and Falcon Ridge Folk Festival. “Home” debuted at #1 on the Folk DJ charts in January 2010 and went on to be one of the most played albums that year for that chart.
She’s played at The Bluebird Café in Nashville, Club Passim in Boston, Caffé Lena in NY along with many venues throughout the country.
George Mallas is a piano based Singer/Songwriter who has been writing since his teen years. He writes songs from the heart on a variety of subjects. From flat out rock to countryish tunes to ballads he will pull at your heartstrings. To date he has released three full length albums of original material. George has graced the stages of The Towne Crier Cafe, Cafe 9, Daryl's House and The Bitter End to name a few. He is also part of the troupe, 'The Four Horsemen Songwriters.' George also conducts a performance and interview show on Youtube and Facebook featuring Singer/Songwriters from the U.S. overseas.
