The band features an all-star cast of convention ribbon winners, including: Mason Via guitar, Zeb Gambill mandolin, Grayson “Pinky” Tuttle banjo, Sam Weiss fiddle, and Zachary Smith bass.

Notable past venues: IBMA/Wide Open Bluegrass, Floydfest, Merlefest, Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival, Fingerlakes Grassroots Festival, Richmond Folk Festival, Roosterwalk, Watermelon Park Fest… etc.
