The West County Professional Tea Sippers' Oldtime String Band are:
Laura Lind: lead and harmony vocals, Autoharp, songwriting
Laura has been performing on stage from an early age and is a 4th generation San Franciscan. She has a distinct award-winning voice, and her love of old-time puts a spin on it. She’s a prolific songwriter and a melodic lead and rhythm picken’ Autoharp player. In 2007, she won a 1st place for her autoharp playing at the Fiddle & Bango (sic.) Contest in Columbia, Ca. Her indie CD, “Wild Birds” received airplay in 17 countries. She tunes regularly and enjoys imitating animals and birds.
Searle Whitney: fiddle, lead and harmony vocals, songwriting
Searle is a transplant from the Eastern hills to the Western hills. He is an avid fan of bluegrass, old-time country, the Carter Family and oldtime Gospel singing. He writes new songs in the old traditions, and plays his fiddle low on the arm cause he can't find his chin. He has a passion for learning the world's best fiddle tune each week.
Dave Krinkel: guitar and Dobro
Dave hears it all in his solid side-man role playing rhythm and lead guitar and sliding around on the Dobro. He has a good natured smile for all occasions, and his appreciation for old-time music shines through in his awesome pickin’. He never sings, however he does silence well.
David Brown: guitar, banjo, fiddle, et. al.
Football has the "triple threat", baseball has the "five skills player", and old-time music has David Brown - banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar, vocals, bazouki. Well, skip one of those, but David does it all. He's a California native with a deep love of Southern old-time music, which he's been studying and playing for 30 years. It's been said that he find the lyrics he needs whenever he looks upward and to the right?
