About
If you love music and are searching for something new we quietly and humbly offer our songs to listen to.
Making music together is a big privilege. We consider ourselves fortunate. Our long friendship began with a mutual curiosity and interest in each other's musical efforts. Our songwriting is now bearing fruit and we have brought life experience and music making skills to our work and we have done so with love, care, craft and attention. Now we are excited to share what we have made. We hope you listen carefully and that the music will resonate honestly somewhere deep inside you.
We are looking forward to making new friends and adventures so please don't be shy, reach out, let us know what you think and say hello
(email, facebook and instagram are reliable ways to connect).
