and New England tunes, Cajun and Zydeco, and old-time Southern songs. Band members Pam Weeks, Jim Joseph and Bill Olson, are each accomplished multi-instrumentalists.

House & Haley

Danville homegirl Kathy Haley began performing early as a church organist, pianist and folk singer. For decades. Kathy was one of the lead singers with the Top 40 dance band Good and Plenty and the vocal group The Girls of LA. Currently she performs with My Mother’s Daughter.
