| Band Members | Lessley Anderson plays banjo and sings leads and tenor.
From the age of 6, I knew I wanted to spread the gospel when I drew a picture of myself as a (male, bearded) preacher on a 1st grade assignment entitled "what I want to be when I grow up." If was hard to get the proper information in a 100% Heathen household, but luckily I discovered a worn Jesus Christ Superstar LP (original British cast recording) which got me started down the path. Next came the banjo, an addiction to the Louvin Brothers, and twenty plus years that might be described as "Godless". However, as somebody once said, you have to walk close to the abyss to see its depths. And when I preach about the temptation of Satan, I really know what I'm talking about!
Galen Krumel plays guitar and sings both lead and baritone.
On paper my background is well suited to bluegrass gospel music: my grandmother taught fiddle, I sang in the church choir and consumed the body of Christ, grew up around chickens, ducks and horses, strayed to the call of the devil's music in my later years, and now struggle to avoid the ways of the modern day sinner.
Ken Torke plays mandolin and sings lead and the occasional baritone.
I like cake. My grandma Mayme went to the Weldon Valley Presbyterian Church, played the organ and sang in the choir. She also made an award winning (literally) angel food cake with the thinnest carmel frosting and little bits of maraschino cherries. It can't be reproduced easily in these troubled times. I just say I'm happy with German chocolate as my favorite. You know, the American version with the coconut in the frosting. I like carrot cake too.
Mark Wardenburg plays and sings bass. He also does the occasional lead or baritone.
I'm a new age male. Turn-ons are Renaissance fairs, twin fiddles, day trips to the spa and pastry carts. Turn-offs are mean people and brimstone. |
