Search - The Tequila Mockingbirds :: Live at thirteen

The Tequila Mockingbirds (George and Peter Pashoukos) describe themselves as a high falutin' acoustic duo specializing in quirky instrumental standards, blues, jazz and classic rock. The duo performs a mix of well known standards such as 'Moondance,' 'Summertime' and 'Over The Rainbow,' as well as the music of Little Walter, Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan. R&B nuggets include 'Ain't No Sunshine' and 'Dock of the Bay.' The holidays find The Tequila Mockingbirds trotting out favorites such as 'Linus and Lucy,' 'My Favorite Things' and 'Greensleeves,' though rarely performed the same way twice and never as you remember them.
