The Baby potato joins in halfway through the series.
2. Small Potatoes consists of Jacquie Manning and Rich Prezioso. Their songs cover a range of styles, though folk is the most common one. They are based in Chicago, USA. In early 2007 they released their latest CD, "Small Potatoes Alive!".
(From CD-Baby) They call themselves eclecto-maniacs. They describe their music as "Celtic to Cowboy" and say it has taken them "years of careful indecision" to come up with a mix of music that ranges from country, blues, and swing to Irish, with songwriting that touches on all of those styles and more. Their two recordings, "Waltz of the Wallflowers" and "Time Flies" , on Wind River Records, cover all these styles. They both sing, they both play guitars and an array of other instruments. They even yodel.
Dirty Linen Magazine called them "one of the most polished, inventive, and entertaining shows on the circuit." Sing Out Magazine called "Time Flies" a "wonderful, wonderfully eclectic" album and said "Small Potatoes might well be leading mainstays on the folk scene for years to come." Their new album, "Waltz of the Wallflowers" appeared on several "Best of 2000" radio playlists, including WFMT's syndicated "Midnight Special".
