We are Larry & Karen Doran, The Mellow D's. Check out our home page at www.themellowds.com for the latest news, schedules, and contact info for bookings. We've been having a ball traveling from Kansas to Texas and Florida, and of course to Iowa, Missouri, and South Dakota. And oh, yes, we perform in Nebraska too! We harmonize to Classic Country Blues and Ballads, Traditional Country, BlueGrass, Classic Rock, R&B and Gospel music for live audiences. Karen is sometimes successful reining in my twisted sense of humor, but not always. In 2004, we won the Nebraska Country Music Foundation's award as Country Music Duet of the Year, and I won Songwriter of the Year honors. In 2003, I won Male Vocalist of the Year in my category, and won second place Songwriter. In 2006, We've begun hosting concerts for other entertainers we've met during our travels. We felt they needed to be heard, and we know lots of country music fans who love that good old country music. We hosted a series of concerts recently with Terry Smith, from Nashville, Tennessee. He is a skilled performer, guitar and vocals, but his most famous talent is his songwriting, with cuts by the Statler Brothers, Chris LeDoux, Johnny Cash, The Oak Ridge Boys, and many more. What a thrill to share a stage with the likes of Terry! Joining Terry was his friend, Charlie Groth from Florida, Elaine Peacock from South Dakota, The Kenaston Family from Nebraska, and The Mellow D's (that's us). It was a terrific concert, our performers just outdid themselves and we all had a foot-stompin' hand-clappin' good time! Our next concert featured international entertainers Tex & Mary Schutz. They operate a studio out of Streetman, Texas, and are in great demand as performers and recording artists. They also host an annual festival in Hastings, Nebraska called Miles of Memories, which takes place the second weekend in September. In July, Bob & Shiela Everhart were our featured artists. They are founders of the National Traditional Country Music Association and Hall of Fame, the Oak Tree Opry in Anita, Iowa, and the world-famous annual week-long NCTMA festival in Missouri Valley, Iowa the first week of September. Also international performers and recording artists, they have been instrumental in the preservation and promotion of traditional American country music. Big News!! In August, we were inducted into the American Old-Time Country Music Hall of Fame during the National Traditional CMA awards! We are just plain excited about the doors that have opened for us and the opportunities presented to us, to let us continue doing what we love to do, playing and singing country music!
