HARPTALLICA: Harp Duo's METALLICA's Tribute To Hit The Road

August 28, 2007

Following the phenomenal response to the release of the clasically trained harp duo's album, "Harptallica - A Tribute", HARPTALLICA is taking it on the road with tour dates across the Midwest and East Coast in September and October. Plans to heed the requests from Western states and overseas for further appearances are also underway.

Ashley Toman and Patricia Kline, both recipients of Master of Music Degrees from Rochester, NY's Eastman School of Music, formed HARPTALLICA originally to perform a series of arrangements based on the music of METALLICA.

The duo's arrangements bring the famed metal band's songs into a new light, illuminating the comfortable transition metal makes into classical music theory and opening those songs to a wider array of listeners.

In bringing their harps on the road, HARPTALLICA hopes both to introduce audiences to new and original combinations of musical styles and to of course give tribute to a band they were both introduced to as a "musical giant": METALLICA.
