Guy (guitars-resonator, electric, acoustic--mandolin, blues harps) and Lisa (guitar, banjo, tamborine) with occasional special guests Adam (percussionist), Will Dicharry (fiddle), Jose Armijo (bass), and Suki Kuehn (cello)
Influences
Lisa: I am inspired by Bill Keith, Jerry Garcia, Robert Hunter, Nancy Sinatra, Alberta Hunter (a nurse like myself who aspired to singing/songwriting), Patti Smith, Leonard Bernstein, Cat Power, anyone named John- June-Joni -Joan-Jane, Sueleen Gay, Bruce Springsteen and Patty Scialfa, my farm animals, Tony Joe White and many other southern roots musicians too numerous to count.
Guy: I listened to all of the music of South Louisiana while growing up there. In addition to the local music, I was influenced by "Sing Along with Mitch" records, Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton on television, Delta blues, folk music, the Chipmunks, John Prine, and Dale and Grace. My guitar playing has been influenced by Mel Bay, Doc Watson, Ry Cooder, Taj Mahal, George Harrison, Django Reinhardt, Eric Clapton, Jerry Reed, Mick Taylor, Freddie Green, Keith Richards, Clarence White, and every guitar player that I have tried to steal licks from.

..By the time you start reading this you can pretty much figure that we are a duo with multiple personalities with multiple instruments and a style we venture to say, that can't really be categorized. We are changing all the time and our newest change is our Percussionist, Adam. Yea, there's also a banjo and a mandolin but that doesnt really make us bluegrass. And Guy likes the electric guitar too. And that resonator guitar with the blues harp means we like roots music and wish we really were still from the south but, truth is, we live next to the Rio Grande in Los Lunas, NM. Even if we cross the Rio Grande here, we still end up in . . . Los Lunas.
