Kip Lawrence plays a guit-jo, which is a 6 string banjo with incredible percussive qualities. He was part of the Key West Songwriters Fest before founding the SW Florida Songwriters Fest and the SW Florida Folk and Blues Fest.
Brian Travis is a graduate of West Point who ended up playing a home made bass instrument called a Jamaican Rumba Box. Brian also wails on the harmonica.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
Christian

Hey, is that Grampa from "Christmas With Grampa" the same Grampa from "Grampa's Moonshine"? Because if it is, maybe he should stop tasting his own product. Then he wouldn't be so hungover! :)
