We are a Portland-based band focusing on old-time, traditional and early bluegrass music featuring fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar and string bass. We are all multi-instrumentalists with decades of experience, and we can play private and public events, square dances and all manner of celebrations. We also have an experienced dance caller in the group who can lead dancers of all ages and experience levels.
