“The Harmony Wombats are a singing duo comprised of two Bainbridge Island based singer-songwriters (Eric Auckerman and Richard Fassler) who wanted to explore that third voice that comes out when two people harmony sing.They draw song sources from a broad repertoire including but not limited to early 60’s Folk revival songs to 70’s Gold, from Appalachian Hill Songs to the Bee Gees, Everly Brothers, CS&N, Mark Knopfler, Eagles and many others. If there’s a harmony to be found in a given song, the Wombats will put their spin on it and find that satisfying vocal harmony music lovers have enjoyed since human kind’s early beginnings. Come hear the The Wombats but stay for the tambourine contest.”
