Their all-acoustic instrumentation features bass and guitars, plus a bit of banjo, mandolin, slide guitar, ukulele, and harmonica. They then add their distinctive vocals (featuring 2 Male and 1 Female all lead and harmony singers - Jerry Curry, Dave Santat Maria and Nancy Park Drum) to create stunning "unplugged" renditions of some of the finest songs ever written. Fun side note: Nancy is currently working with a Hollywood producer on a documentary that will feature her teenage years when she played music with the late historical country legend, Lesley Riddle.
