Melodica and vocals make the duo very entertaining, the announcement said.

“Both Tom and Dee Dee have traveled with different groups including Tom with The Calvarymen and Dee Dee with Living Truth, and both are part of Sonas, a Celtic trio. There's a lot of musical experience between these two,” the announcement said.
