Paul Urquhart
Drums and Vocals
He may be in the seat at the back of the band, but he's certainly not shy. Paul brings years of experience and a flashy style to the group with definite command of rhythm. Not only does he keep up the energy, but he also takes over the microphone from time to time. His voice resonates with the sounds of Charlie Daniels and Merle Haggard and audiences keep demanding that the drummer be allowed to sing.

Tim Sarter
Bass and Vocals
Providing the second part of the rhythm section, Tim brings a solid bass sound and an original style to the group. With years of experience, it's no surprise that he graces the audience with a song or two a night all while maintaining a steady bass line. Keep your ears open for those low harmonies too.

Mark Marelli
Keyboard and Vocals
An experienced pianist, Mark plays it all. He may seem quiet, but his ability to crank out the tunes is certainly not. He is able to move from boogie woogie to swing to ballad and back again with ease. Mark has also been known to sing a few once he's warmed up.

Michael Kane
Fiddle, Mandolin and Vocals
He's got an energy and power that leave the audience wondering why he never seems to tire, but Michael keeps playing. He's a great fiddle player and he likes to show his talents on mandolin and guitar too and he frequently treats the audience to some Cajun favorites. He's been known to stroll around the room and get out on the dance floor in the middle of a song, so keep your eyes open.
