We started by playing around the campfires of Nevada ghost towns years ago. Before long we found some other fellas just like us, dressed like undertakers and wearing scorpion bolo ties and it all just came together. Chris Harvey and Tim White switch off between guitar and bass and share the singing duties, Mark Miller plays the drum, Keith Cary plays lap steel, dobro, mandolin, harmonica, accordian, and anything else he picks up off the street and sings on a couple of songs, Erik DeKok plays the electric guitar and sings backup, and Andy Lentz plays the fiddle and sings backup.

You guys would love the freakin storms we have been having this week. A world of wonder! Wonder why we live high on a cliff above the rivers..no question why!!
Hey, fellas - Sure was nice meetin' y'all. You sounded great and it was a pleasure to have the chance to play on the same bill with ya. Hope you have a safe trip home. Sorry, I didn't hang out too long after the show. My town got hit by a tornado (really) and I was pretty distracted taking calls from friends and family. Honk Tonk Regards, 'Bob' and Bob's Liquor Lounge
