The Smithergreens
Johnnie and Janine Smithergreen are a middle-aged brother-sister singing act
(not so) fresh from the sixties and seventies. They revisit a selection of
groovy girl-boy duets that outdo the Osmonds, crush the Carpenters and
reconcile Sonny and Cher. Delivered with their own unique mix of wholesome
positivity and aging hippy sarcasm, they will blow your idea of political
correctness to Smithergreens!
