Although Steve likens his stylings to Meat Loaf, he insists his wife falls into the Patsy Cline mould. “She’s got that very deep, throaty kind of sound that the people just love,” he says. “She’s got quite a range and quite a voice.” The couple will join eight other acts from the first part of the Vancouver auditions in the next round of Canada’s Got Talent.
