The Seattle Scene
Spencer & Traci Hoveskeland

    Here is something different on this jazz site.
    It is difficult to label the Bottom Line Duo. Is it jazz? Is it classical? Is it Folk? Is it World Music? Hopefully the duo is best described as a contemporary ensemble performing  great music in an authentic and  musicologically accurate manner. In laymen's terms? The Bottom Line Duo's repertoire will entertain and satisfy all those of the species that breath air.
     A hallmark of their performances is their professionalism and humor. Surprises abound in their work.
     Spencer Hoveskeland, a superb and highly regarded jazz bassist, also is a regular member of a Tango Band, and a Klezmer group, and is a guitarist too.
      Traci Hoveskeland is a first call free-lance cellist in the Pacific Northwest. She performs with various chamber ensembles and orchestras. Her experience as a soloist with the Bottom Line Duo has made her a much sought after recording and performing artist.
