The Phinney Ridge Rum Runners are none other than Seattle’s own Trapper Graves and Steve Lalor, talented musicians who sing with and without accompaniment.  Steve Lalor is a hot player of his many guitars (all individually named), and Trapper Graves has appeared in the best all-women maritime bands that have appeared in the Northwest.  This duo always entertains with maritime songs, blues, and many other surprises.
