The four man band — Ike Sheldon (lead vocals, guitar), Betse Ellis (fiddle, vocals), Nate Gawron (string bass, vocals), and Phil Wade (dobro, mandolin, banjo, vocals) — plays old-time country music, original songs and fiddle tunes.

They have also appeared on National Public Radio’s Weekend Morning Edition, Garrison Keillor’s “Prairie Home Companion,” BBC television and PBS’ “Song of the Mountains,” as well as at the Kennedy Center.
