Grammy Award-winning duo, Tingstad and Rumbel, universally known for the perfect blend of Americana fingerstyle guitar, double reeds and ocarina, have expanded the duo in their nineteenth recording, Leap of Faith to a level of musical artistry rarely, if ever heard in this genre. If sitting down to listen to Leap of Faith is like sitting down to the best meal you’ve ever had, every single cut is done to perfection. Moreover, this is American home-style music at its finest with eclectic flavors and international spice. From the most often requested song in their career, Medicine Tree, to traditional Asian folk tunes, Tex-Mex stylings, Caribbean rhythms, American songbook covers and Americana roots, Leap of Faith is certain to satisfy every palette. With the intent to capture the energy and excitement of their live performances, Leap of Faith is as good as having Eric and Nancy right beside you wherever you choose to listen.

Leap of Faith
author: Janet Hansen
In my opinion, Leap of Faith is the best work Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel have recorded among their rich, and deep discography over more than 20 years. Leap of Faith is their nineteenth collaborative effort. Two of their previous works received Grammy nods, and there was a win in 2003. Just as America reaches down for its' collective bootstraps to pull things back together, Leap of Faith follows similar philosophies with a mingling of traditional ideas, coveted covers from the Great American Songbook, along with sheer ingenuity and heartfelt performance. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I must say I've never heard Nancy play so beautifully as she does in "Summertime."
For those who love really exquisite fingerstyle guitar, Eric Tingstad is among the most captivating and charismatic guitarists performing today.
