Picking and Singing Two acoustic guitar players from the North Carolina Piedmont, the Twisted Pair bring excellent flatpicking and singing skills to songs you’ll probably remember. Skip and Mike have played together for over 12 years. Their sets include songs by Tim O’Brien, Hoyt Axton, Roy Orbison, Townes Van Zandt, Johnny Cash, and others. They also mix in several good originals. The influences of Norman Blake and the legendary Doc Watson are obvious in the songs Skip and Mike play. Their smooth sound, clever arrangements, and excellent song selection are unique and (they think) enjoyable. That’s their story and they’re sticking with it.
