50 Shades of Hay

This all star ensemble plays a blend of Classic Country, Western Swing and Bluegrass, with blazing solos. With singer/songwriter Wendy Newcomer on lead vocals, the boys bring the harmony like the Jordanaires did for Patsy Cline. When Eamon McLoughlin and Paul Kramer take the lead on fiddle, mandolin and guitar, these triple threats impart unforgettable solos. Multi-instrumentalist Rory Hoffman brings magic and creativity to anything he plays, including accordion, mandolin, harmonica and guitar. Bassist David Spicher brings the rhythm low end on a big upright bass. He, along with Grammy-winning drummer Gregg Stocki, provide the rhythm bed.
