"...surrounded by an arsenal of instruments parked around their chairs, [they] launched into their splendid mix of traditional old-timey songs, country blues, humorous banter and superbly crafted originals." Andrzej Pilarczyk, Nippertown
"...these multi-instrumental folkies just don't know how to get it wrong at this point. ...Killer stuff that will simply lay you out." Midwest Record Review
For fifty years now Tom and Neil have explored the nooks and crannies of old-time country music, country blues and honky-tonk, and that's a milestone well worth celebrating! These two friends and musical partners came out of the Cambridge and Newport folk revival of the 1960s and have gone on to make these familiar old songs their own. Their shows are an irresistible mix of old-time string band music, roadhouse tear-jerkers, country blues and ragtime, original songs and back-porch humor from two guys that certainly qualify as "masters of their craft."
