Bellows & Squawk give you our unique interpretations of neglected gems from the American Song Book.  
 
Despite our profound respect and reverence for song writers, we have sometimes been known to take liberties with a lyric.  Among our artistic influences we count Mickey Katz, Spike Jones, Slim Gaillard, Ethel Merman, Sophie Tucker, George Burns, and Gracie Allen.  
 
Bellows & Squawk's performances have been well received at senior facilities, street corners, funerals, weddings, charity benefits, farmers markets, the Northwest Folklife Festival in Seattle; Art in the Pearl festival in Portland, Oregon; the Tumbleweed Music Festival in Richland, Washington; coffee houses in Portland; and at several restaurants and hotels in Guatemala.
