MEET THE BAND
CHARLES LUMSDEN
— lead guitar
Charles is the "secret sauce" in the band. He's stealthy, tries to keep a low profile, but he somehow manages to meld great supportive bass parts with tasty and sometimes blistering lead lines.
SHEPARD SMITH
— fiddle, viola
Shepard (or "Shep" or even "Sheppy" if you're feeling frisky) is the heart and soul of the band. He brings years of experience with old-time music to add the real character and texture to the ensemble. It's the "patina" coming through that fiddle.
THORIN NIELSON
— lead vocals, guitar
Hailing from the deserts of New Mexico, Thorin has an eclectic repertoire that requires a special kind of ensemble to bring to life. He particularly appreciates songs that tell stories, and he loves it when folks sing along.
DALE HUBBARD
— mandolin, guitar
Dale is a surfer and somehow that helps explain his acrobatic agility when playing music. He attacks his parts with verve and passion, his solos just daring to wipe out, yet in the end always landing right in the pocket.
