WELCOME..
A little Southern hospitality and Americana wisdom awaits you in our music! This "Southern Belle" somehow got caught up with these two Northern Carpet Baggers and things haven't been the same since! Great music is created out of the blending of the most surprising things!...that is what we think you will find in our tunes.....a unique interpretation of some to the most everyday things....those red Mary Jane shoes I used to wear, my honey in his black jeans, and the gift of a beautiful guitar. Some things just turn into special songs....at least we hope you will think so...stop on in, pull up the rocking chair, crank up the sound and have a listen...Oh and "Y'all come back now, ya hear?"
LAURA MONK, HIGH COTTON
