Monkeyshine

Monkeyshine was a duo consisting of 2 ex-high-school friends, Tim Foley and Cate Doefer, who live and work on opposite sides of Michigan, but would occasionally get together to make music. Around 2004, at Tim's suggestion, they started writing and recording original music, releasing the self-titled Monkeyshine in 2005. In late 2006, they made it most of the way through recording their planned follow-up, "Naked on a Goat."

Tim Foley, a prolific singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, performs with various groups, including The fabulous Foley Bottom Boys, Jukejoint Handmedowns, the Grand Rapids Adult String Orchestra, etc., still records and produces on his own label. Cate Doefer still writes and sings in various groups in southeast Michigan. Tim's son, Keenan Foley, also performed on the first Monkeyshine CD.
