One fine day, long-time pianist James Carlson (aka Snail) bought an accordion. He took to it like a snail to a tasty green leaf. Soon his wife Lucie (aka Cricket) started to chirp along on her violin and they really did start making beautiful music together! They are both also composers and arrangers and are fond of great melodies that evoke street cafés, Celtic dances, Jewish weddings, opera scenes and sitting out on the porch in the summer. Combining sweetness, vivacity, humor and refined musicianship, their eclectic mix of music will delight one and all!
