Great Music!! We picked up one of your cds while waiting for The Great Smokey Mountain Train to the gorge this past Monday. Played the cd a couple times before we made it back home here in Hagerstown, MD.
The catchy song of mine is the one about the farmer feeds them all. I Grew up on a diairy farm too! Love the cd!!

Enjoyed hearing Lost Indian. Terrific fiddling, and the whole band. I'm in the Seattle area, and going to Sebastopol, CA soon for winter. I play oldtime, mostly. Great job. Ginny

Thanks for coming all the way up to Carlisle, PA for Bluegrass on the Grass on July 9! We came up from Baltimore, enjoyed the day of music and bought your new CD and have played it a bunch. Love your high energy, old time style and the fact that you all have figured out how to have families, stay close to home (mostly), produce a cd, and tour...demonstrating that a band can set their own terms! Refreshing! Wishing you continued success as you define it!

Wow-- I'm truly amazed with the new songs (posted a week or two ago). I LOVE lost Indian (best version I've EVER heard). I also love the simplicity and drive in "I saw a man at the close of the day", amazing singing. Now I gotta jump on my open back and try to hammer out a few licks to lost indian!
