Michael Scott Smith - Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Mandolin, Banjo, Slide Guitar, Harmonica
A native of Rochester, NY, Michael grew up in the 19th ward, performing as a solo artist and member of several groups throughout western New York before moving to Dansville and joining up with The Band of Brothers. Michael was an award-winning DJ at WGMC in Greece NY, and contributed to the "Golden Link Songbook" in 1981. He is the composer of dozens of songs, including "Draper The Pirate", "Walking Home From Virginia", "The Highwayman Waltz", "Sam Patch", "Wild Bill", "Dancing In Time", "We Used To Ride The Freight Trains" and many others.

Michael has shared the concert stage with acclaimed Chicago-based singer/songwriter Michael Peter Smith (composer of "The Dutchman"), and counts as one of his greatest thrills an afternoon spent learning a song with legendary Pete Seeger at the Clearwater Folk Festival ("Pete was totally approachable - it was just the two of us playing a song as if it was all he had to do that day.")
Rev. Jamie Stevens - Vocals, Banjo, Mandolin, Guitar
Jamie hails from Hume, NY - and there's no place like it. Anyone who meets Jamie quickly discovers how much he loves a good story - and if there's humor in it, all the better. So, it should be no surprise that Jamie is the composer of "Old Uncle Joe", "Driving Granny Home", "The Mouth Of The Lion", "Nobody Like The Income Tax", "Punxathanny Phil" and hysterical concert favorite "The Cat Song." A distinctive vocalist and 5-string banjo picker; Jamie is also adept at guitar and mandolin.
Alan Fox - Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Mandolin
A native of Arcade, NY. Alan is our class clown and bass harmony voice. He performs on guitar, bass, mandolin, and yes, we even let him near the banjo once in a while. In concert, Alan is as apt to be found wandering around the audience as standing on stage. In contrast to his extroverted nature, Alan is our most introverted songwriter, composing "Whisper", "True Friends", "Palm Of Your Hand", "Silent Ocean", and "Your Face Is Love".
