Keenan and Bob first met in October 2008 in what started out as a "so let's hear what you got." The musical interest developed quickly with a mutual respect for what each one could bring to the table. The initial effort focused on writing original songs and playing around with a few cover songs. Their first Open Mic was performed at the Mudpie in Chattanooga, TN -- and on that night the deal was sealed -- Hegarty and DeYoung was on its way. Tremendous progress has made since that first meeting. Their original music has been very well received, leading to the release of their first CD, Everyone's Bill Comes Due. This CD offers a mix of ballads, rock and a bit of country. They are currently working on their second project for release in 2011.

You will hear in the songs of Hegarty and DeYoung the strong influences of a diverse cross-spectrum of music. Keenan was influenced by Pink Floyd, Marilyn Manson and Staind - which somehow resulted in the development of a strong lyrical ability to express life through words (go figure). You will hear the direct influences of James Taylor, Jackson Browne and CSNY in Bob's finger-style guitar and vocals. It is amazing how these influences combine to create their unique sound.
