Jim Krause and Anne Hurley met when they both came to Bloomington, to attend Indiana University's School of Music. Jim was studying violin and composition while Anne was studying cello. In the years that followed, Jim continued writing music and also took up guitar, mandolin, and bass.
Along with Anne’s cello, they've put together a unique sound, which has classical, folk, jazz, new age, and even Americana influences. In addition to performing as a duo, they enjoy playing with some of Bloomington's wonderful singer/songwriters including, Krista Detor, Tim Grimm, Blue Sky Back, Malcolm Dalglish, Art Heckman, Mark LaPointe and Stella & Jane. Both performed on a number of other musician's CDs and are quite pleased with the release of their own debut recording, Madeleine Bay.
In addition to playing music, both Jim and Anne have professional alter-egos: Anne owns an appraisal firm, ‘Hurley Appraisals, Inc.’, and Jim is an instructor in IU's Department of Telecommunications and runs a video production company
(tabletop productions). Both enjoy traveling - in particular by sailboat.
What others are saying about Jim & Anne's music:
“Our lives are so busy, there are so many distractions to pull us away from what really matters. Madeleine Bay is a wonderful musical reminder to slow our lives a few steps and listen to our hearts. Jim Krause, Anne Hurley, and Madeleine Bay take us on a journey to the deep end of the ocean, showing us what sparkles in the sunlight and what is always moving quietly and powerfully in the depths. Madeleine Bay is a cup of tea with an old friend, it is the whisper that speaks the word, “remember”, it is an invitation to rejoice, and it is an unguarded act of generosity and kindness.”Carrie Newcomer - Rounder Recording Artist
"My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader,
but as a reflection of us all." - John Lennon
