Courtney's from Indiana and has been to 49 states. Bryan's from Maryland and plays 49 instruments. Bryan's a semi-Republican. Courtney's still in disbelief. They are both well-rounded and appreciate Guy Clark and Spike Jonze. They began writing music together in 2002, and have performed around L.A. at The Rainbow, Molly Malone's, Genghis Cohen, Taix, Casey's, Calamigos Ranch, Pig'nWhistle, etc. and have been featured on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic. They hope that you support our troops, spay and neuter your pets and eat foods high in antioxidants and low in past lives.
