Two Fingers Of Firewater
Two Fingers Of Firewater are a young five-piece band from the South East, UK, playing original roots influenced music centred around the sound of the pedal steel/mandolin, acoustic guitar and keyboards/accordion. Aside from their weird and wonderful selection of melodic instruments Two Fingers of Firewater are essentially a good old-fashioned rock band. There are, however, strong elements of modern americana and traditional country within their unique sound.

Gordie Tentrees
Going back and forth across this country from the Yukon, Gordie has performed some 200 shows a year either solo or with his band.
