Perkins team up with bluegrass favorites, Ted DeMille & Bobby St.

Ted DeMille & Bobby St. Pierre
Musical
partnerships can be fleeting, but multi-instrumentalist Bobby St. Pierre
and singer-songwriter Ted DeMille have stuck together going on twenty
years. They began playing together as part of North Star in 1994, then
as half of Bits and Pieces. They play a down to earth blend of bluegrass
instrumentation. You’ll hear the mandolin and guitar from the first
Bluegrass duets combined with heartfelt vocals, the Celtic call of the
mandola, flat-picked guitar; back porch music presented with no
pretense. Original music mixed with old favorites, Ted and Bobby are two
old friends using time tested skills to forge something new.
