Gordy was born and raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Debbie hails from Kimball, South Dakota and with their mid-west charm shining through their personalities, they have been in the business of entertaining people for over 25 years with their talent!
Gordy and Debbie met each other in Branson, Missouri at a singing competition called "The Branson Idol" in April of 2005, of which Gordy was a contestant. At that time Debbie was entertaining as a singing server at Branson's popular Hard Luck Diner and what began as a great friendship blossomed into a love affair and the couple married on December 10, 2006
Shortly after meeting each other, Gordy and Debbie began singing together and realized there was a special chemistry in their craft. They began seeking every opportunity to perform anywhere and everywhere they could...whether it paid or not! Eventually doors began to open for even bigger opportunities and on September 1, 2010 they opened their own show at Jackie B. Goode's Uptown Cafe and Dinner Theater and since 2009 they have been entertaining in Arizona, Texas and Florida during the off-season of Branson, Missouri.
