Bob and Catherine (Chartier and Checora) are a duet and a songwriting duo, featuring vocals, cello, and vintage guitar. We have played a few venues in the past year or so, such as the Pro Arts Presents, Leanne Lightfoot’s CD release, Art to Songs 2025 (High River), Eldersong 2025, The Venue Summer Series (High River), Water Valley Festival, and Wellspring.

Bob continues to do his work of growing the Eldersong program, an initiative to help elders discover or rediscover their own home grown music.

Catherine hosts a new morning open mic in Okotoks, with friends Dianne Harvey and Paula Briggs. It’s held monthly at the Old Church on Elma Street.

We’ve been the house band for the Inglewood Community Garden for the past while, and we are looking forward to creating Inglewood’s first weekly outdoor open mic event.

Check out our first homemade EP, called the Basement Tapes, a field recording made by our friend Jeff Bray in Bob’s pottery studio. Find it by clicking the ‘Music’ button in the menu above.

We also have a unique approach private event offering: we are making ourselves available for birthday busking, book club busking and backyard busking. This will be pure busking at your location with no fees and a tip jar! Affordable and fun!! Contact us below if you are interested.
