Heart and Hammer came together as a result of Julianna and Barry being married on September 16, 2001. Both being guitar players, performers, and songwriters, it was as natural as falling off a log. The CD, Time Flies, was produced by both of us, and includes the talents of Carl Smith (percussion), Skip Parente (fiddle), Kerry Williams (mandolin), John Carter (pedal steel), Mark Frethem (electric bass), Skip VonKuske (cello), Rick Hulett (acoustic guitar, electric bass), Jenny Conlee (accordian), and Chayne Williams (harmony vocals).
