Schankmann Twins

Dana & Lauren Schankmann, the Schankmann Twins


We also saw a new young promicing band. Something pretty unusual in Bluegrass. Two young girls from California in their own Bluegrass- band. I have seen pretty fiddle-players before, but when is the last time anyone saw a goodlooking banjo-player? They had some great musicians in their band like guitar-player Jim Hurst. I also heard that guitar/mandolin-player John Moore sometimes play with them.

Since I also have twin girls, I thought it was a neat idea to take a picture of the Schankmann Twins with the Jakobsson Twins. In my own opinion the Jakobsson twins sing just as pretty, but they haven't learned to play any instruments - yet.
