Home Grown... Tap-toed... banjo zoned... bluegrass schooled... Acoustic fueled music...

On our last CD, Hamburger Sandwich, Bill and I stepped away from our Harbortown repertoire to take a musical trip around America.
It has been getting steady radio play since we released it and we're pretty proud of it. There are plenty of samples on our website listed below.
