The 3 Jimmys met while tree planting in the woods of Northern Ontario near Hearst. Between seedlings, they would sing themes from Mary Tyler Moore, Colt 45 Beer, Davey Crockett, and Monty Python; these would later become mainstays of their sing-along repertoire.

Tunes that groove and are inspired by the loon, wolf and night sky: For all we Know, Lost in the Stars…

Inspired by trips to town: How Dry I Am, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin), Zippity Do Da; and a lost pet by a trailer-dwelling herb-grower from Geraldton, Chameleon.

A crazy guy who we met was Old Dan Tucker from Alabama. The sight of Barrhavan, upon returning to Ottawa, reminded us of Little Boxes on the hillside…

“Heather’s voice is ethereal, and it transmits light and warmth. Ben is solid ground, a steady heartbeat, a perfect foil. Both are accomplished on a myriad of instruments, at ease and connected to the crowd and genuinely full of the joy of performing. Heather and Ben clearly love what they are doing and people clearly loved sharing the experience.”
Gerald Graham, CBC Radio One (Canada)“Quite apart from being brilliant musicians/songwriters Heather and Ben are very comfortable people to be with — a joy to listen to and a pleasure to remember. One of the most fun-loving and innovative acts we’ve seen for years.”
Stortfolk Folk Club (UK)
