Rhonda Gouge & Hilary Dirlam

Rhonda and Hilary both bring a lifetime of musical experience to their partnership. Rhonda gets her roots from many generations of music lovers, who inspired her to learn playing music from an early age. Hilary has performed and recorded with a number of regional traditional groups over the years. She has taught music at Brevard's favorite music store, Celestial Sounds, and played with Mary Gordon as half of the Antique Road Show.

The latest collaboration for these two musical women include several fiddle and banjo books and CD's. Their repertoire includes old-time and bluegrass tunes, western swing, favorite standards and Carter Family Songs.
