For sheer entertainment value, it comes no better than the mother/daughter team of Rice & Renee, whose dynamic brand of comedy, music and western arts keeps fans like Johnny Cash, Kenny Loggins, Dom Deluise and Jay Leno applauding along with mass audiences throughout the world. Their Tonight Show appearance drew the same raves as shows for clients such as IBM, Honda, Ford, ARAMCO, Caterpillar and Rockwell International. They play major fairs and festivals, nationally televised shows and comedy clubs with equal aplomb-the intimacy of the act doesn't depend on the size of the room.

There's simply no way to attend a Rice & Renee (mother and daughter, respectively) performance and not get vigorously and personally involved. The energy level is somewhere around the 200 percent level, and the comedy is quick and fresh. Rice's rope tricks and western whip skills are unequaled and her wide-eyed jokes are riotous. Renee can play it straight into Rice's zany antics as easily as she can step into center stage and wow'em with country songs, fiddle playing and rope tricks. In fact as a vocalist, Renee stands among the best, with crystalline notes that hit square on the mark every time, and a song styling ability well beyond her years.
