This duet was formed back in 1999 and comprises of

REG MEFFERT........... Guitars and Vocals

HEATHER SMITH .. .. Keyboard, Vocals and Harmony

Reg and Heather are leaving the State around Sept/Oct and thank everyone for their past support. "We will let everyone know where we settle but plan to stay on the road in Rosie bus for some time music touring. With plenty of shows in Victoria/ NSW already arranged it could be a long tour. Any last shows you better be quick. The last show scheduled in SA is at the Greenoch Tavern 13th September 2008."

Reg is a Vietnam Veteran who played in a few bands over the years but nothing too serious. Was busy recording his first album

‘Vietnam in Focus’. The pair met each other in an internet music room where Heather went on a regular basis to ‘try her songs out on the yanks’ Reg too went on for a sing-song now and again.

Reg is a full writer member of APRA and has many a good tune waiting to be put on CD.

Having formed the duo the pair went on to become a couple and have been busy with the music ever since.

Reg was honored by Craig Giles (Mr. Versatile) who re-recorded the first track off his album called ‘Picture on the Mantel’ which has made the top 5 in the contemporary section Tamworth 2008.

Heather is from New Zealand and has lived in Australia since 1994, where she has gained her APRA Writers certificate and has many songs to her credit, two of her songs can be found on their last CD. Heather plays 6 and 12 string guitar as well as Keyboard and loves to be around musicians to learn more. Her passion for music is let loose at a show with her high energy performance. She also creates the bands sound with the help of the instruments on keyboard, so the band is live with a full sound. Heather also records and engineers, produces and does the art work for the CD’s, so is kept fairly busy.
