"About the band"

Gary Kelso

A native Californian, transplanted to Utah in the early 60’s and influenced by the Vietnam War and the anti-war movement. He considers himself to be an aspiring folk singer, not an accomplished one. He thinks of modern folk and “ Americana ” music to be more of an attitude or an approach than a musical style. Folk music is music that makes a difference in people's lives and one that finds a useful place. And there is more than one way to get there. To make music that makes a difference is the ideal. That is his mission statement, his musical manifesto. He plays the acoustic guitar, electric bass guitar, 3/4 upright bass, harmonica, and plays “at” a variety of other stringed instruments.

D Scott Williams

From salt-tinged surf-beat to the plaintive country fried strains of Hank and Patsy, to melancholic Coltrane, this surf rat turned plainsman brings another long buffet of influences to the sonic feast.  The seventies and eighties were a time of blending these influences with folk and bluegrass to form something of a “style”.  “So many cool instruments and sounds and so little time” is a quote worth note from this shade of grey.  Guitar, dobro, mandolin and bass are “frequent criers” in the hands of this jack of all strings.  His songwriting usually comes from places in the heart and soul that most of us don’t visit often.

Frosty McWilliams

Born in Elko , Nevada and raised in the Western States, Frosty has become a musician the product of broad mix of many musical styles and genres.   He cut his teeth on records by Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, and Flatt & Scruggs.   Later, he  found the Eagles, AC-DC, Glenn Miller and Sister Hazel.   Today, give him anything from Rock to Bach!    He plays the acoustic guitar, banjo, mandolin, Irish flute, harmonica and alto sax. 

Joe Clem

Joe was born and raised on the east coast. He has been playing drums, table tops, pots and pans, and buckets for as long as he can remember. His formal training started in elementary school, intensified with private instruction beginning in junior high school, and continued studying music at West Virginia University. He has played in drum corps, marching bands, orchestras, jazz bands, and rock bands. Joe's percussion influences include Neil Peart, Vinnie Colaiuta, Stewart Copeland, Steve Gadd, and many more.
