Sara d’Ippolito and Kenny Reichert met in Milwaukee, WI (USA), through a shared love of the growing improvised music scene. They immediately connected and started working on original music in July 2015. An eclectic blend of voice, ukulele, nylon and steel string guitars, Sara and Kenny embrace their wide range of musical styles to create their intimate sound. Sara grew up in southern Italy, but she has Wisconsin roots and teaches classical guitar at Latino on the near southside. Kenny is a native of Brookfield and studied jazz at the Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts. Together, they make beautiful music.

The duo’s debut album, “Spirit of Gold” was released in October 2015, to rave reviews and a sold out show at the historic Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum in Milwaukee. Piet Levy of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said, “It’s striking how simpatico Sara and Kenny sound…especially considering their backgrounds couldn’t be more different. From Reichert's bright, flighty guitar work on "Four Minutes" to d'Ippolito's rich vocals during a romantic cover of Luigi Tenco's "Ti Ricorderai," "Spirit of Gold" will leave you smitten.” The songs are simple and yet sophisticated, melodic and elegant all at once.

The duo will perform at Germano's as part of their spring tour supporting their upcoming album "Familiar Rhythms."

The duo will appear in Germano's bar.
