About Spuyten Duyvil
"To me they are the hottest new band in folk music ... and one of the best" - WXPN DJ and Philadelphia Folk Festival Founder, Gene Shay
“One of the best bands to emerge on the Americana music scene in the last year” - John Platt, Sunday Breakfast Host WFUV
Lead by husband and wife songwriting duo of Mark Miller and Beth Jamie Kaufman, Spuyten Duyvil's (pronounced: "Spite + n Dive + l") soaring
vocals, traditional jug band energy, amped-up lap steel guitar and Chicago-style blues harp propel the listener on a barn-burning romp
through the last 100 years of American Roots music. Listening to this joyous eight piece band for the first time is like throwing a cherry
bomb into a lake. It wakes you up.
Their 2011 release, "New Amsterdam" received enthusiastic airplay on over 165 stations in 5 countries, made a dozen DJ top 10 lists, and
received a “Top American Roots Album 2011” nomination in The Alternate Root 1st Annual Reader’s Poll. Their new CD. "Temptation" is due out in early 2013.
In 2012, the journey that began on a Hudson Valley front porch with a Bouzouki and copy of Rise Up Singing is making stops at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, Clearwater’s Great Hudson River Revival,
The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, Mad. Sq. Park, Outpost in the Burbs, The Black Potatoe Music Festival, Caramoor's American Roots Music
Festival, Musikfest and the Jalopy in Brooklyn, NY.
