It had been a number of years since Dave and Christine had the opportunity to perform together ~ when the invitation to play at Vancouver Island Festival was extended they grabbed the chance. Drawing from their mutual love of classic rock, pop, country, jazz & blues ~ Christine and Dave dove head long and full throttle into the songs they love.
Their combined passion, talent and fun-loving personalities bring a natural warmth and great charm to their performances. Vancouver was a huge success, and they toured the UK with their fabulous concert.
