Yes, well, pull up a chair -- it's quite a story... After many years both playing in bands but never having met,
Sean and Ron were introduced many years ago in Bellingham, Washington, by a close mutual friend named Tom. That was the last we saw of one another for many more years until Tom one day mentioned to one of us that, coincidentally, we both lived in the same town (Puyallup, Washington) -- and that, hey, we might want to think about getting together to play some guitar.
Well it took a few more years, but one of us finally looked up the other one, and we did indeed get together to play some guitar. We also realized that we had a lot in common musically: both huge Beatles fans, both wanted to do some writing and live performing, etc. So in the spring of 1996, we started putting together some arrangements for guitar & vocal covers that include Todd Rundgren, the Yardbirds, the Beatles, Peter & Gordon and more. That song list has today expanded to include, well, more Beatle tunes, of course, as well as material from artists as varied as Toad the Wet Sprocket, Van Morrison, the Eagles, the Rolling Stones, Neil Young, the Wallflowers, the Grass Roots, Joe Jackson, Shawn Mullins, Tom Petty and many others -- including a number of tunes that feature the mandolin.
On the horizon is a recording project of both originals and cover tunes, as well as a continued presence at northwest venues and festivals.

Anyway, we both hope to see you sometime soon. And thanks for checking in.
