Don't miss the Eelpout Stringer's lastest EXCELLENT ADVENTURE - REDUX at the '08 Eelpout Festival! See top BLOG (look for the REDUX).
On guitar, the least hairy of the crew, clean-cut poster boy, Loyd.
Third hairiest is bass player, Karl. He really cleans up nice, too.
Then there's Nick. This spry young guy ran a marathon on his 50th birthday. Impressive!
Then there's the big, hairy fish himself, me (Craig).
Influences
Oh, we like a lotta stuff; Old-time Kentucky fiddle, Irish jigs and reels, Civil war ballads, Red Clay Ramblers, Big Medicine, Foghorn and Unca' Dave Macon right up to Rhys Jones and Gillian Welch. We like to play the stuff that gets your toe a-tappin or croon ballads with lyrics that touch your soul.
Yep. We kinda' like it all.

... the happiest music you ever heard! You WILL want to buy a CD (repeat that phrase 3X).
Ourselves & our parakeet Burt loved your music. We'll be listening again. Give us a listen sometime & let us know what you think. Welcome to our family.
Hey Ya'll! Greetings and salutations, from The Appalachian Highlands of Southern West Virginia. Thank you for adding me to your list of friends. Your comments are always welcome and appreciated.
Best Wishes ELWOOD, "The Friendly Banjer Picker!" Midnight Ramblers String Band Athens, West Virginia, USA.
THANKS FOR THE ADD! I'm so pleased to have you be included in my wonderful and talented group of Bluegrass friends! Sending you some "Smiles across the Miles", from that crazy banjer plunkin', fiddle sqwuakin', ladytrucker from NJ, Christy English.
Thanks to Craig, I've been able to listen to you guys for several weeks now and my conclusion is : "have to save up some money to cross over the ocan and enjoy the happy company of those lads"
All the best and God bless...

Thanks for the add. Met Nick and Loyd at the Uncle Earl concert and have seen and/or jammed with most of you at various MBOTMA events. Nice to have yet another group keeping the 'old' in old time music! Sorry to have missed your open stage at the winter weekend, but we were a little slow getting out of the gate Saturday morning.
