MORE ABOUT THE BAND: The New Mexico-based group was founded in 1998 and features five members including Duke Weddington (Banjo, Guitar, Vocals), Dave Devlin (Mandolin, Resonator Guitar), Pat Mahoney (Fiddle, Vocals), Laura Leach-Devlin (Bass, Vocals), and Ben Monroe (Guitar, Vocals).
The group says they perform original material penned by members of the band, along with a variety of traditional and contemporary selections influenced by the American traditions of folk, bluegrass, Celtic, country, and rock 'n roll.
They say their philosophy remains one of developing dynamic arrangements of their original material, as well as lesser-known songs, and adding something new and unique to standard bluegrass tunes to make them their own. With four members providing vocal contributions, the swapping of lead and harmonies offers something new and appealing for each song in their repertoire.
