Nobuo Kawaguchi and Cathy Checora are two popular, versatile, and utterly charming performers.

 

Their warm and distinctive vocal harmonies, accompanied by ukulele, guitar, and cello, are as unique as they are charming. Their unusual arrangements feature both the familiar and popular, but in a timbre that's wonderfully rich and distinctly their own.

 

Hey Nobuo, any more Monkees waiting in the wings? You made daydream believers of us all.

​

If you're still not convinced, go hear them here and here, and we'll see you here Thursday!

​

Nico & Jeff are a high-energy duo comprising singer-songwriters Nico Brennan and Jeff Kushner.

 

This engaging couple delighted Hootenanny audience before, perform a wide range of familiar and eclectic covers along with their original material. With Jeff Kushner (Beagle Ranch, Talking Dog) on guitar and Nico Brennan (Dino Martinis) on ukulele, keyboards, and percussion, these two will carry you away with their arrangements and soulful harmonies.

​

While Jeff's hair deserves a set by itself, together these two pros will blow your hair back and tease it forward with a tuneful style quite their own, yet a style quite sure to suit you.
