When he got there, his new home was room on the edge of town, a board shack by the slag heap of the mill. And the cracks in the walls, where the wind whistled in, snow landing gently on his pillow.
Artist picture
This duo plays Louisiana Texas style acoustic outlaw folk country and occasional blues, from the heart.
Don Hooper and Steve Beckwith play a cross between Louisiana/ Texas and upstate New York style folk/country. Vocally, Hooper has a Johhny Cash/Willie Nelson style and Beckwith a Chris Smither/Jerry Jeff Walker style. While Don flat-picks and finger-picks, Steve weaves through each song with intricate lead riffs. The combination sets them well apart from other duos. Two guitars, two voices, footstomp board, rack harmonica, vintage guitars, dobros.
