Grammy Award winners Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel have performed, recorded, and toured together for thirty years with nineteen albums to their credit. Traveling to as many as fifty concert venues a year, they are friends who enjoy each other's company and truly love making music.

Tingstad and Rumbel began their collaboration in 1985. Their debut album, The Gift, quickly became a holiday classic. The next twenty years saw countless rave reviews including those in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Billboard, and number one debuts on radio charts. In 1998, American Acoustic was honored as "Acoustic Instrumental Album of the Year" by NAV. In 2003 they received a Grammy Award for "Acoustic Garden."

Rumbel grew up in San Antonio, Texas and continued her musical education at Northwestern University where she became interested in ethnomusicology, improvisation, and dance. She was a member of the Paul Winter Consort for several years prior to her move to the Pacific Northwest. Tingstad grew up in Seattle and attended Western Washington University where he was trained in the Segovian classic guitar tradition. He is a product of influences like Led Zeppelin, Hawaiian slack-key guitar, Ravi Shankar, and Martin Denny.
