Our Music

Stories of Life, Songs of Love

True Americana-Country folk blues with sweet, shuffly guitars and drums and a stellar guy—girl vocal exchange. music touching life and love all done in a bluesy, Americana vein

Smooth tones, a relaxed style and no fuss vocals. While Byrd and Street weave their magic, a tight band of fiddles, mandolin, accordion, piano, drums and bass makes stable harmony. The musicianship here is top—drawer. Tommy Byrd writes a good tune. There's no struggle to make or force a story line; Byrd just lets it flow. Kathy Street, mellow and warm plays her part with a blend that shines on the easily understood tale of first kisses on a front porch, kids in their Sunday best, angry words forgiven here and hands held tight in grace... as heard on Just an Old House. An album of original music touching life and love, all done in a bluesy, Americana vein, Tommy Byrd and Kathy Street share an appealing formula.
