Harry and Joel combine hard driving southern fiddle tunes, lyrical blues, and tight harmony singing to weave a spellbinding performance interlaced with a bit of history, a flavor of southern culture, and the joy of music.
"Clawhammer banjo has been a main focus for me since moving from Ohio to NYC in 2001. I perform with numerous old-time and contra dance musicians in the area, and was a founding member of Two Lost Turkeys old time string band (formerly The Moonshiners). When not playing music, I make my living designing things and teaching design and drawing at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. As an educator, I am surrounded by young, creative, energetic people who have a profound affect on me and my attitude towards life, and help me learn about myself. As a musician I am surrounded by talented friends who pour their hearts out through their hands and voices. As a designer, I discover other's needs and strive to make a difference in their lives any way I can."
Joel just finished a recording with Rhys Jones and Cleek Schrey - Hammer and String - "The Girl Who Broke My Heart"
