2018 has been a quiet year.....
We played about 6 shows, some of them you'll see hear below.
At the end of november Wouter decided to leave the band, he will keep playing the guitar ofcourse, but het won't be playing bluegrass with the band anymore. We will still see Wouter at picking party's, festivals and lazy weekends. We wish him all the luck in the world with his new musical adventures.

The Dutch Country Music Association nominated us for the award 'Acoustic band of the Year 2016'. We don't consider music to be be a contest, but we like to thank the DCMA for the recognition. In december we will do a concert in Velp, organized by a Country Radio Show. Maybe this nomination will attract more visitors. Great, as long as they know we're a bluegrass band!!!
