About Us And Our Music

We play and sing mostly traditional music with much of our favorite material coming from the old time Appalachian tradition.  We perform many Carter Family songs and other old time country duets. We also perform contemporary folk music, especially those songs that we find to be particularly meaningful.  Our music truly spans the centuries and runs the gamut of human emotion. You'll hear an occasional Joke or anecdote in our performances.
 

Art plays banjo, guitar, fiddle, harmonica, and other odd instruments such as the fretless gourd banjo.  Cathy plays the Appalachian dulcimer and autoharp.

We enjoy performing on the concert stage or in a coffee house setting and enjoy interacting with the audience and sharing information about our music and instruments where appropriate. The underlying purpose of our performance is to provide a relaxed and enjoyable experience for our audience.

Note: Cathy's family name is pronounced "Shy-Lac"
