Playing their own blend of Bluegrass, Country, Blues, Folk, and Americana Roots music, the is a band based in the Washington DC Metro Area.  Performing at local venues, regional festivals and other events, the group is sure to please Bluegrass and “Newgrass” lovers everywhere.  The band met in Alexandria, VA at the Tiffany Tavern, a venerable Bluegrass staple in the Old Town area….hence was born.  Members of the band range in both age and geography, and each brings their own flavor to the mix.  Marlo Lewis has been tearing up the Mandolin for over seven years.  Also a singer and avid guitar player, Marlo is originally from Scarsdale, NY.  Pamela Ferguson is a freelance violinist who plays classical, jazz, klezmer, and now bluegrass!  She also teaches classical violin privately and in the public schools.  Brian Renzella is originally from near Wheeling, WV.  Brian is a self-taught singer and guitarist with a love for Pickin’ and Grinnin’.  John Werntz hails from the Philadelphia area where he learned to play the upright and electric bass.  He learned bluegrass music playing with Whetstone Run in State College, PA.  Evan Sands is the newest member of the band. He's been playing banjo and singing for over 30 years now.  Evan is a huge Bela Fleck fan (but then again, who isn't?)
