Influences

Armed only with two guitars, two voices and a harmonica, Pete and Hazel bring along a big bag of songs ranging from hillbilly mountain music to foot-stomping country-blues. There’s even a bit of gospel thrown in for good measure!
Without drums and bass it’s mostly left to Hazel to supply the rhythmic propulsion with her solid flat-picking style, whilst Pete keeps up an extraordinary running narrative on guitar, conjuring up a sound reminiscent of banjo and fiddle. They produce an amazingly full sound for a two-piece!
Their vocal harmonies meld together like chocolate and their exuberant stage presence will leave you wanting more!
