'IKEYS CROSSING'
MUSICAL DUO
JAMES & MARTHA ASCHMANN
OUR MUSIC
After retiring from farming in 2011, we began to devote more time to art and music, establishing ' Ikeys Crossing' in 2015. Our music consists primarily of songs of the British Isles, though we also perform traditional North American tunes.
We both sing, Martha accompanies with guitar and harmonicas. We enjoy concert settings, often doing 18 to 20 songs in two 40 minute to one hour sets. We like to connect with our audience, always offering some brief background banter between songs, creating an energetic performance!
