Kristine Schmitt has been fortunate enough to work with many great musicians in the roots community (such as Bob Wiseman and Dan Kershaw), and has also been a part of the Backstabbers since 2000, adding her high harmony to the mix... Sam Petite (also a member of the Backstabbers!) has had many years of experience playing blues, jazz and country with the likes of Julian Fauth, The Molestics, Helen Stewart and Licking Good Fried... Well-known in Canadian bluegrass for his work with The Foggy Hogtown Boys, Chris Coole has also gained much recognition in old-time music circles for his recordings with both Arnie Naiman and Erynn Marshall..... The Good Right Arm Stringband formed in 2006 as a happy result of Tony Allen’s first solo recording “Steam”. While working on that project, it became apparent that there was a shared sensibility towards playing old-time country music. The result is a band that plays kick-ass old-time and honky tonk music the way they figure it should be played.

    Don't be dissappointed! Vote for someone you know will do exactly what you expect him to do. If you vote for Pop Haydn, you will get the government you deserve.
