They play guitar, banjo and violin. This musical group has sung at many events including the Cody Stampede, Cheyenne Cowboy Symposium and North Dakota Governor’s Prayer Breakfast.

As a family they have performed in numerous states throughout the country and have sung their rendition of the national anthem at University of North Dakota hockey games, Bobcats games and Redhawks baseball games.
