Music by: The Tweed Tones

The Tweed Tones are a duo with the soul and energy of a full band. Featuring Peter Allen Jensen on harmonica and vocals, and Preston Parish on guitar, their sound stretches from Chicago Blues grit to the smooth swing of New Orleans Jazz. Since their 2024 debut, they’ve been turning heads—you gotta see this duo in action! 

A 2025 Membership is required to participate in the 2025 General Membership Meeting. This membership expires 12/31/2025. Annual membership perks DO NOT roll over to 2026.
