Why hire Natchaug Trail?
This Connecticut-based group was named after the Natchaug Trail which runs along side of the Natchaug River flowing down through the Natchaug Valley in Windham County.
The versatile group had its beginnings in the remnants of the Still Kickin' band. Once the new group was assembled, it was decided that it needed a new name. Natchaug Trail was chosen.
Created in 2012, Natchaug Trail members represent many years of musical performance and among the group there are three radio and TV personalities; Neil Russ, WHUS-FM; Jim Sharply, WTNH-TV and Myrna Riquier, WHUS-FM and CTV-14.
