NM, USA (2004 – present)

Rio en Medio (Spanish for river in between), is a pseudonym of folk / singer / baritone ukulelist Danielle Stech-Homsy (b. NM, USA - aka Danielle Stech Homsy). She débuted with the album “A Bride’s Guide to Waiting Music” (2004, self-release - aka Danielle Stech Homsy’s “A Bride’s Guide to Waiting Music” and Danielle Stech-Homsy’s “A Bride’s Guide to Waiting Music”) and her latest is “Frontier” (Feb 2009, Manimal Vinyl). Stech-Homsy’s recording / live performance is often in collaboration with Justin Riddle (drums, percussion), Christian Lee (guitar, banjo) and Nicholas Toll (keyboards, percussion).

After moving to Brooklyn (NY), from her high desert New Mexico birthplace, Danielle began to record and perform her own compositions. Working independently and in secret, she created “The Bride of Dynamite” (Feb 2007, Gnomonsong), a collection of collage-like songs incorporating s / electronic-programming, lifting texts from disparate sources - evoking traditional / folk song structure, themes and melodies. A friend passed a hand-made copy of the record to Devendra Banhart, who requested releasing it on his label.

Following “The Bride Of Dynamite”s release, Danielle has since performed on stages across the US, Europe and the UK. As well as Banhart, she has worked with many well-regarded artists, including: Grizzly Bear, CocoRosie, Brightblack Morning Light, Vetiver, Patrick Wolf, Vashti Bunyan and Tim Fite. In Apr 2007, she did “Take-Away Show #57”, an acoustic video session, shot by Vincent Moon.
