The Storys are ENTERTAINERS who make people smile and sway. From feel-good background music to lively, get-involved music, The Storys entertain by inviting the audience to feel a part of the event. They’re funny and poignant, filling the spaces between songs with stories, music trivia, fun and spontaneity. Dancing and singing along are encouraged! Nancy and Bill are TROUBADOURS. From Washington and Oregon to New Mexico and Arizona and across the Rocky Mountain region, The Storys have played hundreds of shows, parties, events and ceremonies. They are equally comfortable in a ballroom or a living room, a backyard or a stadium. The Storys have musical SYNERGY. One and one are greater than the sound of two!

• The Story's entertained our guests at our daughter's outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at The Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. They are so delightful and talented. Our guests commented on how they enjoyed listening to them play their guitars and sing. They are very professional and went out of their way to accommodate us. I would highly recommend them for any gathering. Donna Hughes -- Donna H, Estes Park, CO, 5/23/2009
