"Chance and Susette were great at our concert! They gave lots of background info - made the audience feel they were really there at the dawn of country music. Friends of mine brought an acquaintance with them from New York City whose idea of a musical evening is listening to Viennese waltzes. I warned them it might not be up his alley, but they brought him anyway. I asked him what he thought of it as he left and he said 'I was fascinated! I want to learn more about A P Carter!'"

Reviews

• "'And now for something completely different'
  We were delighted when Chance and Susette Shiver visited our Old Time Music and Dance Festival in Gainsborough, UK in February 2008...Their brand of Old Time Country Music, often in song, accompanied by guitar, autoharp, banjo and story-telling proved to be a big hit.

  The warm reception they received both during the concerts and informally as they met festival-goers was well deserved. They created an informal relationship with the audience and brought a splendid and different feature to the concerts underpinned by a healthy slice of humour. Their performance is based...in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia which provides a rich source of song and stories enjoyed by all.

  .....we look forward to seeing them again in the future."
