Twice as Good at Music At The Market at San Pedro Square Market

The name “Twice As Good” isn’t a claim of status; to Paul and Rich, it is a dedication to hard work and quality of craft–having the courage to try something as hard as becoming a successful professional musician. They were once told, “You can’t make it in the music business, you got to be twice as good”. So they replied, “Well, all right then. We will be ‘Twice As Good.'”
