Well, here we are , the end of OCTOBER and in the second stage of the pandemic, no singing allowed indoors in Yellowknife until stage 3, so, we have disbanded until further notice. Bunkering down in separate locations that help each of us with the financial hardship of not working. We have been unable able to do our jobs since March 17, 2020. We are not, idle though. We have been extremely busy learning new skills to be able to pivot our shows to an online format. We managed a couple of shows this summer, a personal video (YES, we would do that for you too!) and will continue to look at this as an option for future shows. We are also writing, and recording , working on an original theatrical show and Karen is writing a book on our first tour to the north. Keep checking in as we add what we can, try to stay afloat and find our way back to all of you. We have shut our online store down for now as we are unable to access our merchandise but promise to look for alternative options as we keep moving forward. Thank you all for your endless support. Please use our tip jar if you are so inclined and keep us in your hearts, as that's where we are keeping you. Until we meet again, stay safe.

Crazy Times/New directions
Well, It feels like the end times as we are on lockdown around the world. Our very reliable house gig at the Gold Range has been forced to close its doors due to trying to control the coronavirus pandemic. Most of our special shows have also been forced to cancel or post pone until further notice. After 17 very comfortable years, we are in a very uncomfortable place. But, not to worry, we are also, the little band that can, and always finds a way around that big old box. We have been granted special permission to broadcast live "#FROMBEHINDCLOSEDDOORS" from the now empty GOLD RANGE. We are setting up some fun ways to keep you entertained, as well, as help not only ourselves, but other NWT artists and musicians as well. (more info on that coming soon!)
As we are all learning how to function from our homes , and our computers, and life as we know it has changed, so dramatically, seemingly over night, we hope to bring you some comfort, and keep you smiling, and maybe even dancing in the comforts of your homes via ONLINE BROADCASTS. We hope to bring you a regular, weekly Q&A band talk, where we will take your questions online and discuss things that seem important to us, or to you, that day. WE might include some old footage and discuss tours, shows, learning songs, maybe we will learn a song right in front of your eyes.
Consider signing up for our new subscription section and perhaps if you become a SUPERFAN, your song request will be chosen for us to learn. We are also recording our first original country CD right now, so, you may be privileged to watch it happen right from our studio!
Online lessons from anyone in the band on various things such as instrument lessons, tips and tricks, gear, will be available for those wanting to be MEGA SUPERFANS!!
Ultimately, we are all in this together, we hope to help you and others in any way we can by entertaining you and giving a platform to others.
