About Me

First of all, we're not a band. We have no intention of ever being a band. Being a band is something that other people do. We're a married couple who love the music and do our best not to make a mess of it. We are fortunate to have hooked up with some likeminded (and talented) friends and that is the extent of it. The whole idea of playing Irish trad in the State of Kentucky is preposterous (where's the spell check on this thing? ** hope I got that whale of a word right **). There's a renowned indigenous musical folk tradition here with all kinds of wonderful pickers n' grinners -- yet over the years we've found a niche for "what we do" and it has been gratifying at times and always fun.
