Bonnie has been Austin’s twin sister for as
long as anyone can remember. Luckily she
doesn’t look like him. After saving up her
money she bought her first guitar at the age
of 11 with the ambition of playing it "like
grandpa". In 2008 she placed in the "Red
White & Bluegrass Festival" guitar flatpicking
contest. She keeps a solid rhythm, driving
the band through blazing bluegrass tunes,
and can also pick some mean licks on the ol’
flat top. Bonnie makes her home in Odessa,
Washington with husband Clint and
Australian Shepherd "Pepper".

Although Jenny has also played flute, viola,
piano, guitar, and cello, a bass was needed to
make the band complete, so in 2005 she began
learning the bass. Jenny has since become an
accomplished bass player, but the real highlight
is her voice which has been described as
"Pristine" and "angelic". Some of her musical
influences have been bluegrass stars Allison
Krauss and Rhonda Vincent, as well as Judy
Garland, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Bing Crosby, and
Harry Connick Jr.

At the naive age of 3 Austin originally
wanted to play the drums but thank
goodness that interest soon turned to the
banjo when he saw his grandpa play an old
4-string. Austin is an award winning banjo
player having been voted "Best Banjo
Player of 2008" by the Inland Northwest
Bluegrass Association. He has performed
and recorded with many other northwest
bands and now teaches banjo at North
Idaho College.

Molly has become the top female mandolinist in the
Idaho panhandle and one of the finest pickers
around. She writes songs and does most of the
lead singing in the band. Molly began learning the
mandolin at age 10 because it was small and not
nearly as heavy as the banjo (her first choice). Her
biggest influences have been Ricky Skaggs, Dean
Webb, and Adam Steffey. Molly and husband Rob
live in Hayden, Idaho where they raise sheep.

is a soldier in the US Army Reserves and also
works full time for the Forest Service in Coeur

harmonica and adds his baritone vocals when
