Gunnar's Family band consists of Eric Leadbetter (front man for Jive Coulis), and Martin Degroot (Mandolinist of the Tall Boys circa 2009).  These gentlemen now call Oregon home and play music together whenever the family gets together. They have an array of music spanning from folk, bluegrass, Americana, and rock n roll. Gunnar, Martin's son and Eric's nephew, will sit in every now and then with his little red guitar. You know he's not quite three but he still has the music in his veins!  The music that Eric and Martin play together is relate-able to all walks of life because it embraces the power of music and family.  Eric primarily plays acoustic guitar and sings many of his original tunes, and Martin switches between acoustic guitar and mandolin and also sings. Their harmonies are inviting and warm.
