Rabbitface washed ashore in Central California in the early eighties.  Apart from a few years in the flatlands of North Carolina, Los Osos, CA has served as homebase.  A member of a series of drastically unsuccessful bands from his late teens, he began playing old timey music on the banjo in his early twenties.  In 2004 he joined with friend Patton August to form folk-duo the Dundrearies, who somehow banged out the demo “9 Pound Hammered” in between fistfights.  The band then relocated to Europe, where it immediately dissolved due to lack of instruments.  After parting ways with August, Rabbitface spent about two years living as an illegal alien in the south of Portugal penning an unpublished novel of travel memoirs.  As of late, he has been spotted back stateside frailing the banjo and courting insanity while pursuing a graduate degree in Hispanic Linguistics at the University of California, Santa Barbara.  With the support, criticism and love of loosely defined artistic collective Crippled Pink, Rabbitface continues to chase his own fuzzy tail.  

   Erin was born most recently in 1980 in a cornfield in Ames, Iowa.  She quickly made her way to the chilly winters of Buffalo, New York and later on, Ithaca NY where she attended Cornell and spent several Wednesday nights singing in an a cappella choir, ironically not called “Rock-Appella”.  This experience provided her with a newfound love of stringed instruments.  Working on the Big Island of Hawaii a few years later, Erin picked up the ukulele, joined a ukulele society back on the east coast, and began playing in the heartland of Jamaica Plain, MA in her free time.  Luckily, after a recent transplant to sunny Santa Barbara from the brutal blizzards of the northeast, Erin discovered Rabbitface, who appeared hungry and uninvited on her doorstep, banjo in hand.  He didn’t eat that much, but he sure was noisy.  

Not ones to fight the inevitable, Erin and Rabbitface started playing together to the joy of friends and the sorrow of roommates.  Hope you enjoy the music…
