Arborea

Arborea is a Maine-based husband/wife folk duo comprised of Shanti and Buck Curran. Pulling inspiration from the naturalistic setting of the Curran's home state, Arborea makes music that conjurs images of remote cabins, vast forrests, meandering streams and backwoods communities that are time capsules of a bygone age. Playing a diverse and slightly unusual array of instruments that include the harmonium, sawing fiddle and hammered dulcimer in addition to more acessable instruments like the banjo, mandolin and guitar, Arborena has been creating a wholly orginal style of music ever since it released its debut LP, Wayfaring Summer, in 2008.
