Menser’s pleasant vocals and the bands tight arrangement make this a most enjoyable project with lots of new songs which others may consider."
We've always been proud to have our music reviewed by Bluegrass Unlimited, dating back to our first album in 2011, when they called a few of o ..read more

Hello friends -
We hope you are healthy and happy! We miss playing music for you. A socially distant jam session is no substitute.

You can also order a good old-fashioned CD on our website.
It'd mean a lot to us if you'd follow us and listen on your streaming service of choice, and share our HearNow album link with ..read more
