“You guys seem to be having a really great time up there!” is one of the most frequent comments we hear following a performance. We are comfortable on stage and enjoy playing music together, blending good harmonies, musical talent, and a sense of humor into a good show. We play a variety of music from Country and Western and 70’s rock to sing-a-long folk songs and “old timey” fiddle music, and although we can amplify our music where it is appropriate, we prefer to play acoustically.

Currently, we play every other Thursday evening at the Middlebury Inn and we are at our best performing for their coach tours which provide us with the best opportunity for interaction with the audience. The highlite of our year was opening for nationally known singer-storyteller, Fred Eaglesmith at a benefit concert in Bristol, Vermont.
