"Bastard Sons of Bob Dylan," are two solo acoustic, singer-songwriter types named Terry Kelly and Mike Runion. Every now and a very blue moon or so . . . they can be found performing some very original and sometimes strange contemporary folk-rock (new wave folk) at a small cafe, music festival, benefit, or your local street corner. Together and as solo artists they've been featured on public and college radio stations; WMNF in Tampa, WPRK (Rollins College) Orlando, WFIT (Florida Tech) here in Melbourne, and WVFS in Tallahassee.
More often than not . . you can catch Mike performing (and playing his own brand of edgey folk) with the great Pam Jacobs and our pal Pete Wells at Pete's top notch "And All That Jazz Cafe" in Cocoa and occasionally at "Nature's Haven" (next to Murdock's) in Cocoa Village.
