After years of playing for others I decided to form a band out of a desire to play my own music. Stylistically, the songs are quite diverse ranging from Irish to Latin to Swing but by keeping to bluegrass instrumentation I feel that we have created a very cohesive sound. All the members of the band are not only musicians I look up to but they are also my friends. Included in the band is Ethan Ballinger- mandolin, Derek Pell- fiddle, Willy Dyer- banjo Charles Butler- dobro and Mike Rinne on bass. The album was tracked and mixed live by Bobby Holland. Ovrdubbing was done by Rick Tell. Mastered by Bobby Holland. This project has been a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy it.
