You may see these two at various Cowboy Festivals across the west, or in association with
the Calgary Stampede on a number of different promotional tours to such places as Hong Kong,
Ottawa, and San Francisco. Both Gordie and Mike have a thirst for the folklore of Western
Canada and the old country music.
Gordie has a vocal range that showcases the ballads of Marty Robins, the yodel styling of
Wilf Carter, the crooning of Roy Orbison, the ballads of the man in black and the
hip-swaying, melodic tones of Elvis Presley.
Mike plays bass and adds harmony - and fun! He has a dry wit that'll keep you wondering
"where'd he come from and where's he goin"!
Together they are a delightful duo that make the music come alive! They are performers and
entertainers, not just singers, and when they are on stage their audience will be
entertained!

When the need (or the mood) arises, they are joined by a selection of talented guitar,
mandolin, dobro, and steel players. The House get's a'rockin' and the music is magical!
Together Gordie and Mike make the music come alive with song and good humour, whether at a
country dance, dinner show, cowboy festival, or any other special event.
