Roy-Schroedl-Dave-Minnihan.jpgI met David Minnihan at a mutual friend’s 4th of July party in 2017. We had our guitars and compared notes. Since then Dave and I have played more and more duo shows, so we needed a ‘group’ name. A person at one of our shows suggested Doctor Duo, from our initials. So, we are DR Duo.
In addition, I have become a regular member of what was called the David Minnihan Trio. So, as a foursome, we have adopted the band name ‘ DR Band.’ Besides David & me, Troy Troftgruben holds down the percussion, plays guitar and sings, and Jeremy Jones is our very accomplished bassist.
At the shows, you’ll hear a variety of music, some old, some new. As an example, we play songs as far flung as Roger Miller’s ‘King of the Road’ from 1957 to Radiohead’s ‘High & Dry’ from 1994. In between you’ll hear REM, the Beatles, Steve Earle, Nirvana and much more. We’re also incorporating a bunch of my original music from the CD’s you can see & hear on the Music page.

The Guthries are an American Roots Duo that create music peppered with influences such as rock, folk, country, and blues. They are multi-instrumental, playing acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, mandolin, banjo, and light percussion. Expect the unexpected from these folks. They might easily swing from a latin rock beat right into a bluegrass ditty and then follow it up with some blues. There is never a dull moment with these two behind the microphones!

Shawn Healy and Kristina make pretty, lyrical, heartbreaky, folky layers from over the last 100 years, with vocal harmonies over the vastness of Shawn’s spacious guitar. An amazing goth revival duo on Gretsch guitar and ethereal vocals. Think Mazzy Star and Portishead layered with traditional standards.

There’s trouble at the dog park!
Buster just wanted a fun day out… but the Bully Boys had other plans.
Now he’s on the run — and things go from bad to worse when the evil dog catcher gets involved!
Can his best friend Maggie save him in time?
She’ll need a little help from YOU — the audience!
