About
We are a musical duo covering classic rock, 80's, 90's, golden oldies, a little new, a little folk, blues and beach with a bit of country, too!
We are always adding new music! We've most recently added complete set of tunes that our Carolina friends can shag or Carolina swing to!
We started out just acoustic, and since have added drumbeats and the electric guitar! With these additions, we are able to provide a variety of experiences to suit many vibes!
Located in beautiful Greenwood, SC, we have performed locally in many fabulous venues and have traveled to many places around the upstate by the Blue Ridge Mountains, through the Peach Belt of the Piedmont and down into Thoroughbred Country in the Sandhills to share some musical favorites! We also cross the Savannah River to play at some great places in Georgia!
We also can be booked for private events such as banquets, birthdays, block parties, weddings, receptions and other gatherings!

The Duo's Music Story
Tracie has been singing since she was in elementary school. She has performed on many stages at festivals and local events from Greenville to Augusta to Aiken and many towns in between as both soloist and choir member from age 8 continuing to the present! Tracie performed as a soloist for the Jerry Lewis MDA Labor Day Telethon as part of a local feature that was broadcast nationally. She worked for the Edgefield County School District Fine Arts Department for 8 years as a choreographer, having gained experience at Strom Thurmond Red Zone Theatre, along with the Aiken Playhouse and the Augusta Players for several shows. She has acted in over 25 shows at Greenwood Community Theatre, along with directing, music directing, and choreographing just over 26 shows.
Byron is a retired band director and worked at several schools - Saluda High School (he was just inducted into the Hall of Fame at SHS in October of 2022!), Abbeville High School and Greenwood High School. He received his undergraduate degree from Lander University and his Masters from Northeast Louisiana University. He is quite the accomplished musician playing many instruments and is especially skilled with several brass and woodwind instruments. Byron has been playing the guitar for several years. He has often been spotted in the orchestra at Greenwood Community Theatre, including in the director's chair! He was also on the board and an actor of Wild Hare Productions. He currently is a music instructor at Lander University and is also a member of the faculty brass quintet and wind ensemble.
Tracie and Byron met at Greenwood Community Theatre and worked together on stage in several shows like Guys & Dolls and Man of La Mancha, as well as together on production staffs, too, as director and music director from kid's shows like Annie, Jr. and Mulan, Jr. to full stage productions of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory and Sister Act.
The Duo started after a gathering of friends around a fire pit in October 2020 with a few songs. Tracie & Byron started working together over the next few months collecting songs to create their brand - pretty much just "cool songs" either of them loved. In February of 2021, they had their first gig and then began performing at local area events and venues.
