Joe sings and plays guitar and Sherri sings and plays banjo. Both are songwriters with a number of their original songs recorded by other bluegrass and folk musicians. Laurie Leenhouts is featured on fiddle and John Stevens provides the bottom on bass.
Their songs range from traditional folk and bluegrass to contemporary to original compositions which maintain an older style.
