Goofy wacky and whimsical are all adjectives to describe the musical antics of The Battersby Duo. Beneath the facade of silliness, The Battersby's offer honest non-threatening glimpses in to a child's world of understanding and imagination. Their unique harmony laced style of music, blends the blues with the 50's and folk with the 90's.Couple these ingredients with a dash of comedy, a hint of vaudeville and liberal doses of interactive theatrics, and you begin to understand why every Battersby concert is delightfully provocative...and so much fun .
