About me
Mandolinist David Benedict grew up in South Carolina while Tabitha Agnew Benedict started playing 5-string banjo at a young age in her homeland of Northern Ireland. Today Tabitha and David are carving their own path in the acoustic music world together, drawing on their unique international heritage to create something new. With the release of their debut full-length album Travelers Rest, Transatlantic folk and bluegrass duo The Foreign Landers share their own story in a way that is beautifully honest and moving. Although it is their story, listeners will find much that resonates within themselves—fears in the face of uncertainties, a commitment to cling to hope, and a longing for home/a familiar place to rest—all presented in a unique musical experience that sparks curiosity and joy, and showcases a love that unites across borders.
