The Breedloves were honored to have been selected two years in a row to perform at BANDS AT NAMM at the International Music Trade Show (National Association of Music Merchants) in Anaheim, California.
Well over 2,500 bands submit their material for their chance to perform at NAMM, with only 130 spots to fill and The Breedloves Acoustic Duo were selected two years in a row! Not only was it an awesome experience, both shows were on a Saturday night at 7:00 p.m. at the Sheraton Hotel, (one of the main hotels by the Anaheim Convention Center).
We look forward to another opportunity in the near future to share our music with our industry peers!

This song was written in loving memory of Barbara’s Mom, Dorothy Ann Romano. March 5, 2021 would have been her 87th birthday. Whenever Barbara would play an original song for her, she would always say “did you make that from scratch?” Each melody line in this song it’s almost like a beautiful conversation with her but instead of words, they are notes, played with lots of love!❤️
