Long Story Short (2008)

Finally, the Tashians' new album is ready! And it's a fun collection of original songs and a few cover tunes recorded live at Rich Adler's studio with Mike Compton (mandolin) Matt Combs (fiddle and mandolin) Mike Henderson (slide guitar) Ross Sermons (upright bass) and Kenny Malone (percussion). This is an eclectic blend of Americana styles, all acoustic "toe tapping" duets and solos ranging from bluegrass to swing, traditional country and even a touch of the blues.




At Home (2002)

Acoustic duets recorded live in the studio with bassist Ross Sermons. "This new CD may be their best to date. It's a wonderful mix of folk, swing, country, bluegrass, ballads, and shuffles to warm the heart and soul." Village Records

Thank-you for finding me at Emmylou's page. You have a very authentic American country sound. That's one of the very few things that can't be tampered with these days, isn't it? Sending cheers to both of you~

Hey Holly & Barry,

Actually, I contacted you a few years ago about the possibility of a show, though I dates did not match up. You folks would definitely fit here. As for the April 17 weekend, I'm a little on the fence about it as we may be in Indiana for a college-related ceremony for our daughter. We probably won't know for sure until early next spring, but we want to keep it open. I presume you still wouldn;t be around the following weekend.
