​Absent Minded
​
Never mind forgetting where our car keys are... We have a hard time just remembering our names. So "Absent Minded" was the natural and perfect name for our musical duo. We say music can be sillly, fun, and entertaining all at once. Absent Minded will keep you smiling, singing, and laughing with their silly antics, classic songs, audience participation, stupid jokes, and songs like "Where Did All The Cowboys Go?," "I Don't Look Good Swimming Anymore," and "The Toilet Seat Discussion."
​
Jokes and songs are tempered for the audience. We do family shows with lots of kids songs, adult shows with some off-color humor added in, or anything inbetween. Sometimes we just play songs you haven't heard in a long time and forgot you loved! Absent Minded is always fun no matter what!
