Sounds Like: From www.polyjesters.com:
A mixture of swing, folk, and roots music. Now you may be asking yourself, "Well, what the heck is roots music man?", and that's where we can clarify things for you. 'Roots' is more or less a word created for those who are still living in the past and refuse to listen to that new hippidy hoppidy music. It contains music such as old jazz, tin pan alley songs, old country, bluegrass, and ragtime.Now, of course the PJ's write their own music which is a mixture of all of these styles and thus we bring you: CHUNK!
From www.CDBaby.com reviews:

"As fiddler Scott Duncan puts it, “it’s actually been scientifically proven that it is impossible not to enjoy listening to Jay and Shel.†I personally would have loved to be involved in that study! The songs on this CD showcase their talent and creativity as musicians, singers and songwriters, and if you’re like me and like to sing along, yeah, you’re going to enjoy taking part in their flawless harmonies. Swingin’ Folk Chunk… I loooove it."
