Fellow band members are Cody Walters on bass and clawhammer banjo, and Hayes Griffin on guitar; both amazingly talented musicians with accompaniment techniques that would grace any stage.
The three of them together bring out the best in old time and bluegrass music, inter-mixed with great songs and spectacular step dancing. Her ninth album Bright Like Gold captures a woman who is in full command of her musical and dance attributes.
A rare musical treat upholding North American musical traditions for the future, straight out of the top drawer!
