Artist description Tom & I are two guys who love to play good acoustic music of all kinds. We play all styles of music, including rock, blues, R&B, country, honky tonk, jazz, folk, bluegrass....and whatever else strikes our fancy. Mainly we like anything that gets the audience involved and laughing and singing along with us. We also love good harmony. We have always had the ability to reach young and old alike. We accomplish this by bringing that "front porch" feel to the stage, giving the audience the feeling that we are singing with them, not singing to them. I've had several people tell me that normally they don't like to sing along in public, but that for some reason, when Tom & I play, they are singing at the top of their lungs and having a blast. Well, that is what we are about.........helping the audience shed those self conscious skins, and just have a plain old good time. When this happens, it fuels our fire, and our show really begins to roll.

Artist History Tom & I started playing music together over 10 years ago. The first time we played together, Tom joined me on the stage one night at the Bedford Station, and we proceeded to bang out tune after tune with no practice at all. The rest is history. Since then our music experience has always revolved around live performances and audience participation. Many of our songs have evolved from these events. Truth be known, we have probably played live three times as much as we have ever practiced!Although Tom & I are extremely different people, we have similar musical backgrounds. We are both the same age (You have to guess that one), we both took Baritone Ukulele lessons in the 5th grade, we both initially learned on nylon string guitars, and we both bought a Madiera guitar as our first steel string. The best part is that we both enjoy a variety of music, which keeps things exciting and fun for all.
