Their eclectic repertoire includes modern folk songs by American, Canadian, and Irish songwriters, traditional and contemporary bluegrass, and centuries-old Celtic airs and dance tunes. All this is peppered with a healthy dose of popular jazz standards, swing and western swing music, and a few classic country tunes thrown in to provide a program certain to be enjoyed by all.

Performances are appropriate for educational and community settings and can be tailored to fit the needs of the presenters.

Fee: $750-$1,000 for single performance; $1,200-$1,500 for a day of performances, plus travel expenses.
