Atkins and McVinney have been performing together since 1998. They have played at Starris Live in the Rivermarket, the Afterthought Monday jazz series, Vagabonds, Tia Wandas and most recently at Wild Oats Market (formally Beans) and the Coffee Beanery.
The Coffee Beanery is on 17200 Chenal Parkway, west, about .5 miles past the Acura dealership and Kroger on the right. It's next to Chi's Chinese takeout and Domino Pizza in the Centre Shopping Center.
