Artist History Mike & Jeff Abbey began playing together in 1991 busking Everly Bros. tunes, writing their own and opening for the Elvis Bros. (listen to "Graham Elvis" elsewhere on MP3). You can pigeonhole the Abbeys (if you must) into the "Americana" music genre--someone said 'imagine the Everly Brothers singing at at a Badfinger session written and produced by Paul McCartney' does that help? †
