Violin and guitar duo

Roma Ransom

Folk tunes, covers and originals, as a duo.

There’s something about a violin and a guitar together that makes an event feel a little more special. Roma Ransom is Grace Easley on violin and vocals and Gordon Lewis on guitar, a married duo from Colorado Springs who play Romanian and Eastern European folk tunes, old-time ballads and a little swing. They’re a lovely choice for a wedding or a dinner party.

Trusted and booked by

Grace and Gordon met busking on a street in Springfield, Missouri, and they’ve played together ever since. They named the duo for the music of Romania, and their song list runs from swing tunes like Caravan to Romanian and Eastern European folk, old-time ballads and their own songs. Both trained classically from an early age, Grace on violin and viola and Gordon on guitar, and Grace sings, too.

For about a decade they’ve played more than 200 shows a year, touring all over North America, and they’ve shared festival bills with Leftover Salmon and Larry and His Flask. Closer to home, they’ve played Dazzle in Denver and the Lon Chaney Theater in Colorado Springs, and they played a VIP event at the Pikes Peak Center for an Itzhak Perlman performance.

Their music has been in films and ads for Patagonia, Yeti, Huckberry and Bud Light, and Colorado Public Radio has featured them on Air Check. They bring their own sound system, so they can play outdoors or in just about anywhere you’d like them.

Mountain and garden weddings: Book them for your ceremony, and a few swing and folk tunes give your cocktail hour a romantic, old-world feel.
Dinner parties and celebrations: They’re a great fit for a birthday, an anniversary or a dinner at home, when you’d like music with some character that still lets everyone talk.
Banquets and client dinners: Two classically trained players with a song list from Romania to Appalachia make a memorable dinner for clients or a team, at a volume where nobody has to raise their voice.
Daytime and outdoor events: They bring their own sound system and play outdoors all the time, so a patio or a garden party is an easy fit.
