Every once in awhile a roup is discovered for their natural talent. Duo Hanna-McEuen couldn't be described any better.
Jaime Hanna and Jonathan McEuen are first cousins and sons of identical twin sisters, Rae and Kae. Spending so much time together rowing up and always living near each other lent itself to strengthening the bond between the two. In addition, their fathers are Jeff Hanna and John McEuen, who have been playing music together for nearly 40 years as founding members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
"I was always allowed to be 'the electrical guy' in bluegrass, and I always had an electric guitar with me, even when we opened for Bill Monroe. Bill would always ask, 'Whose guitar is that back there?' but that never discouraged me", recalls McEuen. "It just made me want to learn more about playin acoustic, finger picking and flat picking."
