The Birth of a
Folk Duo........

A campfire jam experience, leading to thoughts of a musical uprising of women, the hatching of a plan.....and you have TRAVOIS!


TRAVOIS! - a folk duo of Soozee Weisflock and Maria Birch, performs original folk music (guitar and rhythm) written by Soozee, and also leads drum ciricles in the Wisconsin Lakeshore region.

TRAVOIS! encourages audience participation - handing out "egg shakers" to young and old to play along as they perform. Fun for ALL!
