Their wide-ranging instrumentation includes guitar, spoons, mandolin, fiddle, accordion, banjo, lap steel, washboard, keyboard, ukulele and pritnear anything else they can get their hands on, if'n when the spirit moves them. "We do everything from bars to barbeques. If the Whoreshoes are there, it's always a 'ho-down'." Scrappy and sweet, these women will fight for your heart. And for their place at the bar.
