 Jim
O’Connor and Chris Anderson began performing together in
the rock band, Steadfast, in 2005. They began working
together as a duo in 2011, performing in a variety of
venues throughout the Madison, WI area. It’s a life-long
dream for both of them, and they are having a blast!
Jim’s first instrument was the banjo. He picked it up at
the age of 14 after discovering the music of Earl
Scruggs. At 16 he made an easy transition to guitar, and
is now skilled on acoustic, resonator, square neck Dobro
and electric guitars. Jim’s “thumb and finger” picking
style was inspired by Merle Travis. He also dabbles in
dulcimer, and harbors a secret penchant for bluegrass.
Jim’s vocals are a natural addition to his instrumental
talent. A little known fact about Jim is his vast
knowledge and expertise in craft beers.
 Chris
can’t remember a time when she didn’t want to sing more
than anything else. She started piano at the age of 9.
At 12 she bought her first guitar at a local record shop
for $20 with her babysitting money. She debuted at 16
with the band “Midnight Carnival” whose one and only gig
was undoubtedly legendary. Hand percussion instruments
are among those things that everybody picks up in
elementary school. Chris just never got around to
putting them back down. The ukulele is a recent addition
to her collection and is just plain fun to play, as are
the auto harp and the melodica.
