Meet Leland Collins (aka "Spoonful" or simply "Spoons") and Danny "SlapJazz" Barber. (Leland's in the red derby hat, Danny's in the black derby hat)

These gentlemen have been wowing everyone they play for...musicians, kids, grown-ups, pets, and now trees. <grin>

Danny slaps “jazz” (more widely known as hambone or body percussion) and plays jaw harp, while Leland beats those spoons together...each with such flair and style, it's indescribable.

Just by the nature of their instruments, their shows are unique...but their showmanship and talent make it an almost rapturous event. Whether performing solo, or together...their funkified rhythms get to you and you absolutely HAVE to move with it.

Don't pass up a chance to see, hear or jam with either or both of these gentlemen. It's a rhythmical, musical education...not to mention just a damn good time!
