Fish who and who?
I know. They may be new names for you. But that's why the Narrows Center for the Arts exists. We want to provide an opportunity to bring in new artists to enrich the lives of our audience.
So: Fishken and Groves. But we realize you need more info, and may not have time to search for it, so here are some testimonials from some music writers:
"Fishken and Groves hark back to a time when folk music was less about the stars and more about the songs. With front-porch conviviality, they sing folk classics and gems by contemporary songwiters in a style that puts all of the attention on the song; melodically pure, instrumentally unadorned, with harmonies as sweet and thick as home-baked cake."

"In a sea of singer-songwriters, roots-savvy song interpreters such as Fishken & Groves are a relief. From 19th century cowboy ballads to Geoff Bartley, from the Sons of the Pioneers to Irving Berlin, John Prine to Vaughan Monroe, the duo's new CD, "Going to the West," has a range as wide as the harmonies are close. Fishken & Groves create a back porch feel..."
