A.k.a. Modest Sklepowich and Orysia Evanchuk

A Canadian husband and wife Ukrainian country singing duo known as "Mickey and Bunny". Modest Sklepowich ("Mickey Sheppard") was a pharmacist and his wife Orysia Evanchuk ("Bunny Evans") was a substitute school teacher. Sklepowich had played with a band called the "Sons of the Golden West" around his home town of Ethelbert, Manitoba and also worked as a disc jockey at radio station CKDM in Dauphin, Manitoba. Mickey and Bunny began their recording career when Winnipeg record producer Alex Groshak heard them performing their country and western act and approached them to record some versions of their music in Ukrainian. With the discovery of Mickey and Bunny, Groshak launched a new record label, V Records, which was initially devoted to Ukrainian artists.
