But in 1992, their life was jolted by an unexpected blow that would leave them without a home or business and send them on a quest of renewed discovery for the roots of the Blues. Left without anything but their dream of pursuing music and travel, they began backpacking, hitchhiking and playing the streets. They traveled throughout Europe to the Middle East and on to Asia, Central and South America leading the lives of true 'Blues Troubadours'. In 1996, they dedicated themselves to Europe by buying a vintage camping van. But a blown engine left them stranded on the streets of France, where they were discovered by the organizers of a major blues festival and taken off the street and put on stage. And there they have remained, to the delight of Blues fans throughout Europe. Lance & Donna's emphasis on pre-war Blues is reflected in Lance's style and interpretation, as well as his original compositions. Through their performances in clubs and festivals, they've gained recognition by the French Blues community and today, from their home base in Köln, they are captivating German audiences. But don't be surprised if that address soon changes, as Lance & Donna continue to restore another vintage camping-van with their eyes upon the highway. Once a Blues troubadour, always a Blues troubadour. Some Press Quotes: " ...
