We've been in the studio recording tracks for our long-awaited debut album. We 're booking gigs for spring and summer, filling up our schedule. We're playing shows with our band The Restless Soles and celebrating the band's Irish heritage(we started out as Irish/Celtic band Poor Ould Goat) by playing mostly Irish/Celtic songs during March, to celebrate the St. Patrick's season.
We are honored to have been nominated for best Duo in the 2023 Buffalo Night-Life Music Awards.
It's nice to be recognized for our performances. We didn't win, but we're glad to have been considered. Thank you!
We've had an amazing summer playing for all of you!
So many fantastic venues/settings/patios/etc. and so many wonderful people. We're so glad you're enjoying all our original songs so much and of course all the songs we play by our favorite artists.
