April 2024


 - Last Month

Brookdale Park Place Manor, St. Josephs and Peterson Place all hosted us for spring events in March. We were also able to get back to Riverview Retirement Community for their March Birthdays event after a snow-day cancellation back in January. Riverview is a really nice place to perform. They have a nice location right along Upriver Drive and their retirement community is modern and appealing. 

The residents and staff were really nice, and we enjoyed visiting them all for another event. They even posted pictures from the party on their Facebook page. We’re attaching a couple of them below.


 - Coming up

Royal Park Retirement has invited us back in April, and it’s been a while since we went over there. 

Maplewood Gardens is also on our April calendar, along with St. Joseph’s and Peterson Place.

Project Joy is putting on a showcase event in April. Some of the senior volunteer entertainers will be performing at the afternoon show. This is a free event at the Southside Community Center (27th & Ray) and everyone is invited.


 - Other stuff

If you missed it last month, Don recently unearthed some of his old band pictures. We have added a few to his biography section, below. We also found a couple new pictures of Doug with his old bands. 

It is fun to look back sometimes and see what we’ve both been through over our music careers. We were so young! Between the two of us, we have been playing music and singing for about 120 years. No wonder we feel so old sometimes after playing a show.


 - Our Album

We bring CD copies of our “Classics” album to our shows and give them out as requested. We also send out free copies by main.  Really, no strings attached.

You may request an album by mail on our  CONTACT US  page.  Our two albums are also available for free streaming and downloading.  Follow that link on our  MUSIC  page.


Below are a few pictures from this last month. 


Two Grey Cats is a music duo featuring Don Brumfield on guitar & ukulele and Doug Roberts on acoustic bass.  They play classic rock, pop, country and traditional music.  Don & Doug are long-time dance band musicians, now retired, who enjoy playing great songs in a relaxed acoustic duo setting.

Don and his wife retired to Spokane after living and working in California.  He played lead guitar in popular Bay Area bands for more than 50 years.  He retired to Spokane in 2015 and teamed-up with Doug as a duo in 2018.   Don is a fine singer and guitarist, and also enjoys adapting classic songs for the ukulele.  As a retiree, he also plays golf, rides his e-bike and does remote control rock crawling.  He and his wife now make their home in the Dishman Hills area of Spokane Valley.

Doug is from Spokane and a long-time area bassist.  He worked at the local library for many years and played in numerous popular local dance bands.  He plays an acoustic bass guitar in the duo, and also plays Fender bass & upright bass, guitar, piano and other instruments.  Now retired, Doug and his wife live in the South Perry neighborhood.  They enjoy riding their Harley Electra-Glide, swimming, and caring for their home & yard.  Doug also produces music recordings in his home studio.
