Tucson-based acoustic duo, RISO, with Matt and Rebekah Rolland of the nationally acclaimed Run Boy Run, open the Folk Sessions’ 20th season at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18 at the elegant Elks Crystal Hall, third floor, 117 E. Gurley St., Prescott.

From Tucson, RISO’s sweet vocals and dynamic instrumentals serve as a striking counterpart to gritty, beautifully honest, and captivating original songs.

Their new album “New Eyes” is available on all digital platforms and on CD. Their 2018 album Seed & Silo was placed in the top three of Pop Matters’ Best Folk Albums of the Year.
