Hillery Lynn has been playing guitar, singing and writing songs most of her life. Her unique, smoky twang is a beautiful counter to her softly complex guitar playing and the perfect showcase for her quirky original songs and subtle readings of American traditional folk tunes. She’s won (or co-won) the Laramie Singer Songwriters contest two years in a row now. Birgit Burke has been writing songs, singing, and playing various musical instruments most of her life as well. Her voice ranges from a broken alcoholic snarl to ethereal plea, while her songwriting, guitar, and mandolin playing lift elements from 1920’s blues, old-time and Irish traditional fiddle tunes, Appalachian folk, and country western. She also publishes poetry, short stories and essays, and loves murder ballads. Both women grew up singing with their sisters and the family harmony influences are clear. To answer your question, whiskey slaps is a game that made it to Laramie via Antarctica. Hillery can explain it to you.
