The Canote Brothers
"GENETICS ON PARADE! Years ago in a San Francisco Chinese restaurant, we received our favorite cookie fortune of all time. It was one word: TWINS!   Since twin babyhood, we have taken advantage of our matching genetics: as Christmas elves tap dancing our way around a wishing well in the first grade, to our thirteen year stint as the affable radio side-kicks on NPR’s Sandy Bradley’s Potluck."

Here’s a recent quotable quote about the Canotes

​“Can I tell you how much I adore those wacky Canote Brothers? Can I? In ties that are nearly as wide as their smiles, you head on back in time to an era of high waisted trousers and crank start automobiles and never mind that you’re in the basement of a rather swanky and expensive music store, it’s all back porch when those boys swing. Golly gee whiz, did they bring the wholesome tunes and the big smiley times.”
  – Pam  (from her blog, “
NERDS EYE VIEW“)

The U Can Jug or Nots

The U Can Jug or Nots were chosen as the 2019 Duluth Battle of the Jug Bands winner on May 26. The U Can Jug or Nots’ mission is the preservation and enjoyment of jug music. It’s a combination of old timey, early country, blues, gospel and pop of the ’20s and ’30s.

They make and modify some instruments (jugs, spoons, washboard, can shakers, box drum, jingle bells) and also play ukes, guitars, uke bass, mouth harp, toys, kazoos, and so on. Who can make jug music? U Can!

Dale and Brenda Moe

​Dale and Brenda are members of the Two Harbors Ukulele Group - T.H.U.G! The Moes, along with a "bunch" of other great T.H.U.G. ukulele folks sponsor the Silver Creek International Ukulele Carnival. SCIUC features ukulele singing, playing a broad variety of ukulele activities the third week of August each year. Dale and Brenda help ukulele learners with the encouraging touch that makes learning fun.
