Music
We are working on recording some of our orignal music and hope to eventually put it up on our site.
Musical Influences
We have always wanted to play guitar. We use to take our Mom's broom and use it as a guitar when we were two years old. When we were a little older, we set up the upright vacuum in our bedroom and used it as a "pretend" microphone. We listened to a lot of classic rock when we were little Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, the Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), Eric Clapton etc. We listened to James Taylor. We also listened to folk and a little bit of country.
We have diverse musical influences. Two of our top favorite musicians are Stevie Ray Vaughan and Ellis Paul — electric blues and folk.
Anyone who has ever met us knows that we really like Stevie Ray Vaughan's guitar playing. I mean, we LOVE SRV!! We heard his music when we were 8 years old and we knew we wanted to play it. At the time we only had acoustic guitars but that didn't stop us from learning some of his songs.
Some of our favorite guitarists (other than SRV) are Eric Clapton, BB King, Robert Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, Hubert Sumlin, Robin Trower, John Mayer, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Johnson, Derek Trucks, Andy York, Robert Randolph, Doyle Bramhall II, Robert Cray, John Fahey, Ellis Paul, Ray Bonneville, Chris Smither, and Don Conoscenti.
We learn a lot from the musicians we meet and hear when we are performing in other places. We learn from their music and they often suggest other performers we might enjoy hearing.
