Maybe Baby — Jennifer Kimball on acoustic guitar and baritone ukulele (no kidding!) and Ry Cavanaugh on baritone electric guitar — serve up heavenly harmonies in a moody pop style. The duo’s fare ranges from original songs to covers of Merle Haggard, the Everly Brothers, and Julie Miller— natural enough for folks who've played everything from rock to bluegrass/klezmer.
      Jennifer Kimball is known to many as half of the duo The Story. “Her ethereally elegant voice has soul-catching clarity, much like glass that is blown liquid but turns into crystal beauty,” says one Los Angeles critic. She has appeared on numerous albums as a harmony singer, sits in regularly with diverse musical groups and has a highly-acclaimed solo album, “Veering From the Wave.”
      Ry Cavanaugh has been a staple of the Cambridge music scene since the mid-90s. Besides the occasional solo appearance, he has played in a number of local rock bands. Like Jennifer, he doesn’t feel a need to commit to any one genre. Scott Alarik, the Boston Globe’s well-respected music critic who will be sharing the stage with the pair, says that “Cavanaugh seems cut from the hippiest of country music cloth.” On Dick Pleasants’s Folk Heritage program, Scott remarked that the real star of the duo was their harmonies, and their dynamic as a couple makes them great fun to watch.
      Me&Thee audiences are well aware of Scott’s yeoman services to old and new folk music. It’s a spring tradition for Scott to bring young artists to the coffeehouse. Scott, of course, is a singer-songwriter himself and was a regular guest on “A Prairie Home Companion,” whose host said of him, “I have rarely seen an audience in such a good mood as when Scott’s just been there.” We can’t tell you exactly what will happen when these three mix it up, but we’re sure it will be fun.
