Double Trouble
Jean Farnworth and Evy Mayer were already solo performers when they started performing as "Double Trouble" in 1989. Evy sings and plays ukulele, guitar and various percussion instruments, and collects popular songs of the early 1900s, as well as humorous songs, World Music, singer/songwriter and children's music. Jean sings and plays Celtic harp (32 strings, 45" tall) and 12-string guitars and includes Renaissance, traditional Celtic, vintage blues and original music. It is easy to see why "What kind of music do you play?" can be a difficult question for "Double Trouble" to answer! This duo will get everyone singing by inviting the audience to join in on choruses.
"This duo is a fine example of what I think of as contemporary traditional musicians, who sing about modern life with the same spirit troubadors of the 19th century sang about their contemporary lives. This is a very engaging, charming album" - Christine Lavin ("Soup to Nuts" review)
"...this New Jersey and New York duo, Jean Farnworth and Evy Mayer, have released an absolutely delightful recording...their choice of material, the stirring harmonies and their subtle musicianship hits the spot on each track." - Dirty Linen ("Born to Shop" review)
"Twisted, yet sensitive; multi-cultural; extremely dangerous." - New Jersey Folk Project
"From the most serious romantic ballad to the lightest children's song, Evy Mayer and Jean Franworth meet the challenge...with an extensive repertoire of songs from the very old to the very new." - Folk Music Society of New York
