Chuck Browning, drummer extraordinaire, has played with greats " J.J Cale, Eric Clapton, Ace Moreland and many others.
John " Moose " Moss has been an icon around the four states and anywhere he has ever been for 40+ years. A fantastic guitarist, songwriter and all-around musician, he has played with more people than there is room to talk about here. Probably one of the best known Musicians he played with would be Steve Gaines. Moose started out playing drums and ended up playing guitar with the Steve in the Crawdad Band. He has had several bands under his own name and the local favorite "Smoot Mahuti" for many years.
As of late , Polly and Annie have also been blessed with the opportunity to play with bassist John Seaberg. He was also a member of the Crawdad Band and many others. He is one of the finest Bass guitarist we have ever had the pleasure of hearing, much less playing with. John is also an excellent guitarist. No matter what instrument he is playing, you can count on it being fantastic!
