We do our favorite songs for dancing from the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's
and a few on our own. We sing Aretha, Supremes, Sister Sledge, Chaka Khan, Marvin Gaye,
Stevie wonder, disco favorites, and many songs you forgot you knew...but, you know all the
words once they start.
"I didn't know you can get a Hendrix solo out of a violin. For
the record, the way violinist Helen Hooke does it, you can."

Woods, Cashbox
"Helen Hooke adds power and a raw edge...she plays guitar, piano
and especially fiddle with a tough intensiveness and wit..."
Ken
Tucker, Rolling Stone
"...Helen Hooke...destructive lead guitarist, fiddler, and a
Sweetheart of the year; who is capable of breaking hearts at 500 feet..."
