How did all this start?   
BWA UNPLUGGED (previously named "DOUBLESHOT" ) was an acoustic rock DUET that Janine Taft & Dustin Bendell started in the fall of 2004 for a "fun" side project while they were putting together their rock band (Black Water Alley).  
Jake Anderson joined in 2016 on guitar to do summer tour with us, stayed and now he is my current acoustic partner.  BWA UNPLUGGED perform acoustic music all over the U.S.  BWA UNPLUGGED showcases a wide variety of hard rock cover tunes and B.W.A. originals. They are a perfect fit for venues, corporate events, biker rallies, as well as cruises & rock festivals. They perform at any venue or event where acoustic music is a great fit.
