biographical info

We both went to St. Catharines Collegaite highschool, and shared an introductory guitar class together. Started busking on the street 2006/2007, as a guitar/harmonica duo. A short while after, I began playing guitar for a rather unliked and pooly recieved punk band, Sexual Assault. We convinved Danny to play with us in 2010, and giged in St. Catharines, London, Toronto, as far north as Cochrane, among others, till the bands end short after. Fortunately, that gave us a chance to refine our skills best we could, before going off to travel.

On our travels south we were fortunate enough to meet some great musicians and have learned a lot from them. Over the last couple years we've expanded from gutitar and harmonica blues, to some ragtime, jazz, fiddle and banjo music. Nearly all of the music we love and play is rooted in America, but we feel obligated to, cause it feels good, and its feelin good music. 

We aren't professionals, or the greatest players or anything, just tryin our best to have a good time and keep the music alive. Hope to continue traveling, making music, and meeting all these good musicians out there.
