Sable and Wiemuth previously performed at the library with a benefit concert featuring the life and music of Patsy Cline.
The couple live in Coeur d’Alene but for the past 18 years, they have performed at theatres, aboard hundreds of cruises, and at more than 1,000 corporate events. They have performed for audiences from New York to Alaska to the Mississippi River to the United Kingdom to Australia.
Sable was born in Coeur d'Alene and grew up in Newport, Wash. She has worked as a professional singer and actress since the age of 18 when she got her first professional gig with the Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre in the chorus of “Oklahoma!” Over the past two decades she has performed locally with the Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre, Spokane Civic Theatre, the Lake City Playhouse, and she and Wiemuth have performed for holiday productions at the Coeur d'Alene Resort. 
The couple met while working as “showboat entertainers” onboard the Grand American Queen Steamboat in 1998 and have since produced and performed countless custom duo shows for audiences across the globe.
