With more than three decades as guitarist in the much-loved band the Church, Marty Willson-Piper has a lot of music from which to draw. Five or so years ago, he found a new love for his old music as well as an inviting path for newly created music with his partner, Olivia Willson-Piper, whose violin playing doesn’t toggle between classical and folk as much as it melts away barriers between the two. They create an intriguing and progressive sound together.
