"Raucous Roots..." - Phillip Lutz, The New York Times

Seeing a Spuyten Duyvil (pronounced "SPITE+en DIE+vil") show for the first time is like "throwing a cherry bomb into a lake" (Rich Warren, WFMT). It wakes you up. Their brand of original and traditional American Roots music blends Olde Time, Blues, 2nd Line, Bluegrass, and Folk Rock with a pinch of Punk Rock energy to create a uniquely modern mix. Lead by song-writing couple, Mark Miller and Beth Kaufman, this seven piece powerhouse brings barn burning energy to venues throughout the Northeast.

It’s an exciting time for the Hudson Valley based band. Their CD, “Temptation”, released October 2013, made it to #7 on the Folk DJ Chart in it's first full month out. "I'll Fly Away" grabbed the #2 spot. "Temptation" also made it to the top #20 on the Roots Music Report and into the top #30 on the Roots 66 Airplay Chart. Their 2011 release "New Amsterdam" landed on a dozen DJ Top 10 lists and received a nomination for the Alternate Root TV's "2011 Top American Roots Album".

They are revving up for 2014 tour stops including The Brooklyn Folk Festival (NY), The Philadelphia Folk Festival (PA), Caramoor's American Roots Festival (NY), The New Bedford Folk Festival (MA), One Longfellow Square (ME), The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (NY), Music Mountain (CT), WNTI STAGE (NJ), The Sandywoods Center For the Performing Arts (RI), The Heartland Cafe (IL), WFMT Presents at Serosun Farms (IL) and more importantly Bridge Street Live (CT).

Drop them on a large festival stage and they electrify the crowd. Place them in a listening room and their stripped down acoustic sets connect powerfully. Tireless organizers, they have created, booked and hosted the UrbanH2O concert series in Yonkers, NY and festival workshops (including ‘The Backstage Sessions’ and ‘The Social Music Hour’) encouraging collaboration between artists and the audience at the Philadelphia Folk Festival, The Folk Alliance International Conference and Caramoor’s American Roots Music Festival.
