Brass & The Bible is a Christian musical duo consisting of Mary and Tony Ritch. Mary performs traditional hymns and inspirational songs on French horn accompanied by professional prerecorded backing tracks, and her husband Tony recites scripture, song lyrics, and a brief inspirational message in between the musical selections. They have various 25-minute programs suitable for any worship service or holiday presentation. They have performed at churches, senior living facilities, and rescue missions in Hot Springs and Hot Springs Village, Arkansas, and can travel to any location to share their love of God through music. The Ritches both have instrumental music performance degrees from the University of Missouri-Kansas City Conservatory and the USC Thornton School of Music. After careers as freelance musicians in Florida, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, California and Utah, and teaching and working as a paralegal, they retired to Arkansas in 2021. Donations are appreciated to help pay for music and transportation and may be made via PayPal to @BrassnBible.
