TINGSTAD & RUMBEL
A Twelfth Night Musical Celebration
Grammy Award winners Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel have performed, recorded and touring together for over 22 years with 19 albums to their credit. Traveling to as many as 70 concert venues a year, they are friends who enjoy each other's company and truly love making music.
Eric and Nancy began their collaboration in1985. Their debut album, The Gift, quickly became a holiday classic. The next 20 years saw countless reviews including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Billboard and
numberone debuts on radio charts. In 1998, American Acoustic was honored as "Acoustic Instrumental Album of the Year." A Carnegie Hall appearance in 2000. In 2003 they received a Grammy Award for "
Acoustic
Garden
."
Nancy and Eric have been playing the
Langley
stage since a year after their first recording, first in concerts at the Langley United Methodist Church, (when they both lived on Whidbey Island), and at WICA since the center opened.
For more than a quarter of a century now, the Langley UMC has been proud to sponsor these remarkable, internationally known artists in a Twelfth Night Musical Celebration. It is for them and for us, a real homecoming.
Thank you, Eric and Nancy!
