Two Branded Hearts
No Halo Or Wings
How It All Started
Joel and Beckey met in October 2006. They had both been married for 20 years and were both divorced. Beckey had been searching for 6 years and had a list of things she was looking for in her next husband. One of which was that he would be talented and could do something that not just everyone can do and have a passion about it. Joel's music was this passion. Joel had been searching for 2 years and also had a list of things he was looking for in his next mate. One of those was someone that enjoyed music as much as he did and that could sing along with him and possibly play the piano. The first time they sang together it brought tears to their eyes because they blended so well. 5 months later they were married. It was one of those things where when you know it is right you don't delay.For Valentine's Day 2008 Joel wrote Beckey a song. It told how he felt and how she was the angel that was sent to rescue him. He called it a poor man's Valentine gift but it was a priceless treasure to Beckey. That day he recorded the song in a back bedroom of their house. He recorded the music and his vocals. When Beckey came home from work that day he had her listen to it and asked her if she heard any harmony to the song. She said yes, and he handed her the microphone and recorded her singing the back up. That was the birth of the song No Halo or Wings.
They enjoyed recording this song so much that they have converted their one car garage into a sound/studio room. Singing together and performing is something that they both want to do. Their voices are such a harmonic blend that they compliment and complete each other for a universal appeal. They enjoy performing together. They have had so many compliments on their sound and how well their voices blend together. Joel and Beckey say that neither of them are perfect, but they are a perfect match for each other.
