We'll also intertwine interesting stories & tidbits behind the songs and albums, and have actual album covers on hand for you to look at we trace the various routes this artist has taken. We will also have more electric tunes in our arsenal depending on the venue and customer requirements. While this band is relatively new, its members bring a wealth of experience and talent to their music.

Our band members:

Ed Williams - Electric and acoustic guitar, lead vocals, harmonica, banjo
Mark Helms - BGV, acoustic guitar, keys, banjo
Katy Kohut - Lead and BGV, cowbell
Mara Aldereguia - Fiddle, lead and BGV
Mike Stanton - Bass, BGV
Tom Blalock - Drums and percussion

Additional booking notes

Our requirements are relatively simple. We have the instruments, amplifiers, and a fair quantity of mics, but we would definitely need a sound board and system.
