-- Entertainers For Hire --
We do parties:
Many people have been asking us if we play parties. The answer is YES! We can entertain your group for an hour or for the entire evening.
We do weddings:
We can provide live music for the ceremony, and we will gladly DJ the reception. Plus, we are both ordained through Universal Ministries so, we can officiate your wedding as well. Please contact us about your party or wedding and we'll negotiate a deal.

Well, gosh, it's been a while since we've updated the site - the holidays always put one thing or another on hold. We are still going strong with our monthlies and we've been adding more tunes to our set. Paul is now playing bass on some tunes and sprinkling some harmonica on a few others. You can see this happen at our next show happening at the Blue Moon January 30th. Bartender and upright player Tom Hotchkins will be sitting in on our standard bluegrass covers such as Jesse James and Rocky Top. We will be showcasing every third Monday at the Blue Moon. And of course we always have our Hale's Ale gig 6-8 every first Thursday. We hope to see you out at a show.

Boy are we beat! Three shows in a row: Hale's, the Ham, Sid's B-day. We have two more this month as well: the Blue Moon Oct 14th and the Skylark Oct 30th. As far as past shows go, The Ham Country Revival was a blast, and Cap' Hansen's was packed, which isn't too hard to do - I'm surprised we all fit in there. The word on the street is people loved us. Afterwards, we went to see (Paul played in) Sunday Evening Whiskey Club at the Blue Horse Gallery. And then back at Sam's place on our way to a Metal show at the Shakedown, we had our own country music festival when two strangers began jammin' in the kitchen. We had such a great time we missed the Metal. I think Montana Slim was up there in the heavens guiding us away from the devil's music.

We are back at work. We made a whopping $22 busking for the first time at the Ballard Sunday Market - at least this paid for our Bloody Marys at Hattie's Hat. Though not finacially rewarding, we did meet a fiddle player named Ellen who is also classically trained, and she believes in aliens. We have since had a reahearsal with almost a full band (sans bass) and it's going to be pretty swell. Our monthy at the Stepping Stone landed us a gig at the Brave Horse Tavern when a very excited booker name Amy saw us and asked us to play at the club. We are building up a lot of momentum with 8 shows coming up in the next two months. The highlight is a spot at the Bellingham Country Music Festival. Oooweee is that going to be a hooooot!

July has been a bit of a break for us. Not really a break, since we've been busy with other things: work, home, health, friends, and other musical endeavours. However, we are getting thing moving again with a show at Slim's Last Chance and a spot at the Bellingham Country Music Festival. Plus, we've been rehearsing with banjo player Eric Richards, bassist Matthew Matanovic (formerly Chad McNees), and drummer Kubby. With this lineup, we'll be honing in on bigger venues, but don't fret (we'll do that) the duo will still be making appearances.

We finally have business cards and we've been passing them around so, hopefully you are here reading this because of our diligence. We do parties for certain! Earlier in the month, we played a brithday party for a five year old out in Kirkland. It was a Toy Story themed party with the birthday kid dressed as Buzz Lightyear. For a few tunes, the family and friends joined us with varied percussion. Kinda like when we play Children of God, though we had to tame it down for that gig. If you want us for your party and your ears can handle the truth, we'll put the cuss words back in and you can sing along.
Whatever it is, it seems to be working. We are proud to announce that we have another monthly. Come see us play at The Stepping Stone every 3rd Tuesday from 9:00-close (midnightish). Tuesdays are generally our rehearsal nights, so we figured, might as well practice in front of an audience, drink free organic beer, collect a little moolah, and make new fans.

We ended May playing our ninth show of the month, an impromptu performance at the Uptown Pub in Port Townsend, WA featuring PT local Greg Vinson on upright bass for a few classic cuts - it was awesome! Memorial Day weekend, we supported our veterans playing a benefit show at the Sunset Tavern. The army boys and their ladies were loving it, dancing and singing along. They even wanted us to get back on stage and play another set. We also played our friend Lauren's birthday party learning three Dolly Parton tunes, which we will be adding to our set: Bubbling Over, I Will Always Love You, and Little Bit Slow. The weekend before, we entertained some BBQing, beer drinkers at The Fiddlers Inn. We're sure we'll be playing more of those BBQ's this summer, so be on the look out. And this month also found us at Le Bon Ton Roule sitting in with the Pornados. See you at Hale's Ales for the first Thursday of June. Oh, and come join us at Hattie's Hat June 8th when we'll spin some of our favorite records and share some awesome tunes.

Wow, so far May has been a whirlwind, having just finished up our 5th show this month. Of course, we played our monthly at Hale's. Then we volunteered our talents to support a benefit show for the BF Day School called Art Rocks. The families really enjoyed it. This past weekend it was three shows in a row, one atArt On The Ridge, with Half Acre Day - please go there to check out Matt Cory's art, it's awesome. Next it was a ballyhoo at the Shanty Tavern. And last it was off to the Copper Gate for an amazing night of duo's, probably one of the greatest shows in the city for a Sunday evening. Plus, we sported some new toys, a Casio SK-1 and a Flatiron mandolin - it's sounding better than ever. We hope to see you at the next three shows this month. So, check out our shows page.

It's that time of the month again to see us perform at Hale's Ales. Come see us from 6:00 to 8:00 on Thursday the 7th of April.
Last month for the first Thursday, Caleb was unable to make it so, we set up a special singer-songwriter showcase featuring Casey Ruff, Colin J Nelson, and Paul Beaudry. People really enjoyed it, thanks to all those who came out to support the show.

The new studio is on it's way, and we like to say that it is being built by The Caleb and Walter Contruction Co. When the space is all done, we will start in on the new record; it's going to be quite a treat...the studio and the record.
For the time being, you can hear some live performances on our audio/video page, or visit our myspace account and listen to some tracks.
FUN FACT: Many people ask us why we started singing together.
