“We’ve found that if you make good, fun music with integrity and honesty, people will discover it and love it. For us, knowing someone is sitting out there for an hour, listening and allowing us to transport them to a different place is very gratifying. We do this music because it’s who we are. We fell in love with our instruments as kids, and never wanted to do anything else. And our collaboration is about the great things that can happen, when the unexpected happens!â€
It’s time for a change, and you will be entertained like never before!
