Mandolinist Jon Ross has long been a Seacoast Favorite and a "Musicians musician." Fiddler and Vocalist Dave Talmage (aka: Old Time Dave Talmage) known throughout New England and beyond as a genius of all kinds of Old Time Music, has been part of many great stringbands including The Mill City Ramblers. (Dave hosts the popular bluegrass open mic. at the Stone Church each Monday.Bass player Amanda Kowalski is an artist in all respects and the bass fiddle is not an exception, where she has played with such notable musicians as Bela Fleck, Uncle Earl and currently with the popular group: "Della Mae." Banjo player extraordinaire Grace Van Hoft not only tears of the 5 string banjo, but is a powerful vocalist as well and adds punch and drive to the bluegrass band sound. The band is joined from time to time by former New England Bluegrass Band members of years past and welcomes their participation.
Old Time Dave Talmage is a fine New England Barn Dance Caller in the tradition. He formally interned with New England's most noteworthy caller "Dudley Laughman" and has performed numerous dances throughout New England.
