Butch Waller was one of the first people in California to play bluegrass music. Inspired by the recordings of Bill Monroe, Flatt and Scruggs and the Osborne Brothers, Butch, along with grade school chum Herb Pederson and others, formed the Pine Valley Boys in 1962. By 1968 he had founded High Country, the longest running bluegrass band in California, which features straight traditional bluegrass to this day. Butch has made his mark as a Monroe-style mandolinist, issuing many High Country recordings, and most recently, his solo recording on Rebel Records entitled "Golden Gate Promenade". But until now he had never formally performed with his guitarist brother as a duet.

Bob Waller grew up watching big brother Butch playing bluegrass. When he was 16, Bob asked Butch to teach him how to play guitar, and Butch proceeded to show him the classic Mother Maybelle Carter guitar tune "Wildwood Flower". Bob took it from there. Later that year Butch took Bob to see the Kentucky Colonels, a major early California bluegrass influence, and introduced him to Clarence White, saying that Bob was "an aspiring bluegrass guitarist". Bob says, "Thirty-five years later, this statement is still true!" Nowadays Bob's rock solid guitar playing and singing have established him as a veteran bluegrasser and band leader in his own right, having cut his teeth with a number of groups, both in Seattle and the Bay Area. He now also plays with High Country and the Circle-R Boys.

Butch and Bob, drawing much inspiration from the brother duets of bluegrass and country music past and present, zero in on the close harmony sound that is the gift of siblings. With their thirty-five years experience playing and singing together, they bring that same special sound to audiences now.
