Hillbilly Water have been performing together for over 5 years. Having gotten their start in '02. The band is an acoustic trio featuring mandolin, guitar & bass. Louie Demayo is the lead singer and mandolin player. Lou is a huge fan
of Bill Monroe and bluegrass music in general. Louie D. as he's called by friends and fans alike has been playing mandolin for over a dozen years. He's had the pleasure of hanging out and playing with Del McCoury, Adam Stefi, Allison Krauss and a bunch of others. On guitar we have the unassuming Ed Rainey. Ed's been playing for as long as he can remember and was brought up listening and playing old time country and bluegrass songs. Encouraged by his dad, himself a great banjo/vocalist, Eddie learned to play all the bluegrass instruments; Dobro, Guitar, Mandolin and Banjo. He is quite a talent and must be seen to believe. Not only does he play real good but he sings great too. Helping Lou D. with the high harmony. Ed's played with many greats including Peter Rowan and Vaser Clements. Bassist George The Greek has been playing for over 20 years and his musical friendship goes back just as far with Ed Rainey. They have been playing in bands since high school and have created a dynamic groove and feel that kicks the band up a notch. George and Eddie also play in the Cosmic American Derelicts www.myspace.com/tcad69 , which plays honky-tonk blues These 2 guys live to play music. George has also played with some heavy dudes including, Buddy Miles, Vaser Clements, King Wilke and Buddy Cage. The band has just completed and released their debut cd "Have A Drink". We will be gigging, recording a lot over the next year so check back from time to time and we'll keep ya posted.td>

We just booked with Gene for next year. We will most likely camp on the other side of the lake. It is leveler and tends to stay dryer... or... I may just rent a damn cottage for overnight..anyhow c'mon over and pick and hang out. We usually have a pretty decently stocked cooler as my son, Dave the guitar player, is a liquor and wine sales rep. Mark
