Based in North Carolina, songwriters Leah Kaufman and Janet Buehler mix equal parts silly and sublime with a twist of kickass harmony. Their original songs have garnered awards from the South Florida Folk Festival, Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest, and Intermountain Acoustic Music Awards, to name a few. But it's Janet’s riveting voice and Leah’s intricate guitar that seal the deal and make them an up-and-coming duo to watch. Sit back and let them catch your ear, tug at your heart, and make you laugh, often in the same song.
