We bring an appreciation for small town life that will resonate with the local community. We place our songs in a historical, folkloric context with stories and images to set the stage. We banter with one another and with our audience. But mostly we sing in the kind of tight, high mountain harmony that comes from living and loving together for thirty years, having met in the Valley and recently returned after 26 years as West Virginia-based folklorists, oral historians, and music makers. Our guitar accompaniments are also in closely arranged harmony, with Michael’s melodic lines and Carrie’s rhythm and runs, elevated by Joe Blumenthal on upright bass and Jim Armenti on mandolin. We specialize in songs of working people, Appalachian songs, and country duets of people and nature, with a couple of country love songs woven into the mix.
