“Two of Iowa’s best roots musicians” The Bucktown Revue

Marc & Brandi Janssen play traditional American music inspired by the first generation of rural recording and radio artists.   Moving seamlessly between old-time, bluegrass, and country music, the duo features rare old fiddle tunes, driving banjo numbers, early bluegrass songs, and country duets. They are particularly fond of old country and bluegrass duets and their powerful harmony vocal sound has delighted audiences across the Midwest.

Always rooted in traditional music, Marc and Brandi front old-school honky-tonkers The Slow Draws and the traditional bluegrass quartet Goin’ Up Caney.  They also hold down the rhythm for the hottest traditional jazz band around, The Dandelion Stompers.
