The folk duo John and Mary has always had a bit of a dichotomy-hauntingly pristine live performances on one hand combined with full-blown band instrumentation on their recorded work. Those albums included some of the world's most enigmatic musicians, including Alex Chilton, Mary Margaret O'Hara, Joey Molland, Augie Meyers, and the late great Ronnie Lane. Now John Lombardo and Mary Ramsey have augmented their new group, The Valkyries, with some of Buffalo's most interesting musicians as well. The collective includes Patrick Kane, Rob Lynch, Kent Weber, Joe Rozler, and Nelson Starr .
