     5th Annual PICKIN' ON THE PLAINS, Colby, KS, July 14-16, 2000

from Gem, Kansas

Sappa Strings

Sappa Strings at Colby in 1998.

Husband and wife team Wayne and Millie Lauritsen hail from Gem, Ks, where they make their home on the Sappa Creek. Their music is a reflection of their life in the country--uncomplicated and filled with simple pleasures. Wayne's full voice lends itself well to country ballads and gospel hymns accompanied by his guitar and accented with Millie's harmony and autoharp or dobro. The pair have performed extensively around the midwest at festivals, day celebrations and church gatherings, where they are appreciated by friends and fans alike.
