From the sixties' coffeehouse scenes of the Village to the clubs of New Orleans, Rita and Richard Clarke have been a presence on the American music scene for over forty years. With a musical partnership evolving over the last twenty six years, their sound has been described as a combination of "bayou rhythms and Maryland soul.”
From the sixties' clubs of Washington DC to the coffeehouse scene of Inwood House, Lesley and Steven Choy add accordion, guitar and banjo to the latest mix of Rita and the Naturals. Partners in life and music for more than thirty five years, their sound has never been described by anyone. They're still trying to figure it out.
Together, Rita, Richard, Lesley and Steven share a common bond in friendship and the music they create.
