Thank you!

Tom and Mary Kay are why they call it "Playing by Heart"


Our Old West personas Slim and Minnie sing their hearts out and you will too. Wherever Slim and Minnie perform, good old time fun ensues! We bring you music of Out West including campfire sing-alongs, cowboy songs, starting with the hits of the 50's, that is the 1850's and moving along to Cowboy Swing and Hollywood Westerns. Slim and Minnie just know all kinds of old songs! So tap your foot, clap your hands and sing along! Folks love the good hearted and funny duo Slim and Minnie! Get 'em for your event!

And, by the way our Scots-Irish name Gáirín comes from the Gaelic word for a wee bit o' laughter, kinda like a chuckle. It's a wee bit o' Gaira and reminds us of the laughter of the Desert Quail, in fact! The Celtic connection? That bird was first named by Scots-Irish Welsh American adventurer-naturalist William Gambel, a celtic cowboy who headed Out West in 1842.

What's new?
