Swearingen & Kelli, Nashville duo, presents their "Fire and Rain," nostalgic acoustic concert of the iconic folk hits of the 70s at the Corning Opera House Cultural Center 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 10. The show features the authentic and harmonic vocals of singer-songwriting duo, highlighting some songs from that era. This show of classics will include music from Cat Stevens, Gordon Lightfoot, Jim Croce, Carole King, James Taylor, Simon & Garfunkle, Fleetwood Mac, Kris Kristofferson and more.
"I mean, it’s that harmony. When you hear a duo that is really singing together – by that I mean listening as much as anything else – it’s a special and unique sound." — Red Line Roots, 2019
Their third studio album, "Cold-Hearted Truth," bridges the gap between modern-day Americana, the classic sounds of '70s singer-songwriters, and country rebels. The album delivers stories about endurance, addictions, old stomping grounds, false starts and getting things right the second time around. The album revels in simpler times of AJ Swearingen’s family’s humble beginning in the Appalachian coal mines and Jayne Kelli’s family history in the small town of Lapeer, Michigan.
