Since 1980 Bob and Gail have traveled the country together taking old time music to audiences of all ages at festivals, fairs, concerts, dances, schools, libraries, music camps, radio and TV programs. This is rural music as played in homes, at dances and for earlier entertainments such as minstrel shows and country radio. Along with a repertoire including dance tunes, ballads, cowboy songs, humorous and sentimental numbers, blues and rags, they spice their shows with stories, history and folklore. They both sing (Bob yodels, too) and play fiddle, banjo, guitar and harmonica.
"Their taste and sensitivity to
repertoire, arrangement and execution are unimpeachable."
Bill Hinckley,
Buzz Magazine
"Bovee and Heil's performances are
bitingly authentic, without ever sounding imitative, and their vocal and
instrumental styles blend beautifully." Paul Stamler,
Come For
To Sing
"I've long felt that Bob is
one of the great singers of cowboy song alive today."
Kerry Blech,
