They joined forces once more to play some of their old favorites. They play all kinds of music from folk, roots and blues to create songs that are haunting yet gutsy. Tony says, “anything we can pull off with just acoustic guitars.” Brenda’s wide range of vocal abilities and effortless connect with the audience results in a live performance that is both uplifting and moving. Linton leaves listeners mesmerized by the purity of voice and musical spirit. Tony compliments Brenda with his excellent talent on the guitar. Barney’s Food Truck 7:00 to 9:00pm
