About Me

Layout Created at KillerKiwi.net
We are a California duo, who started out singing in church a little over thirteen years ago. From there we joined a Contemporary Christian band that eventually split up. At that point without a band, we bought a karaoke machine and decided that just the two of us would perform at senior centers and such since we did not want to give up singing. Believe me we never thought anyone would hire the two of us without a band.Then one day a friend called and asked if we would do the grand opening of her shop at the Ventura Harbor. We explained to her we no longer had a band and just used backing tracks. She said that would not be a problem, so we did it, and the rest is history.The owner of Christy's Restaurant heard us and hired us for her daugher's wedding, and later for the restaurant. From there it was parties, the Ventura County Fair,and 2009 will mark our third year opening for the 4th of July Extravaganza at the Ronald Reagan Presidental Library.We perform just about every kind of music. We do Country, Oldies, Blues, Rock, Latin, Pop and everything in between. Our most exciting gig so far, well that would have been the time we played for country recording artist Roseanne Cash's mother, Vivian. That was an honor that we will never forget.If anyone would have told us ten years ago that we would be as busy as we are now, I would have never believed it. We have been truly blessed to be able to do what we love. ..

But the one person who was my first true musical influence, well, that would have been my Grandfather. He played the banjo and the harmonica and I loved listening to him play.
