Since 1971, Bob Bovee has traveled the country taking old time music to audiences of all ages at festivals, fairs, concerts, dances, schools, libraries, and music camps. Bob is a Nebraska native (now living in Minnesota) whose family sang and played the old-time songs. Many of the western and railroad songs he does were learned from his grandmother. He plays banjo and autoharp, sings and yodels, and can drive a dance band with his guitar and harmonica. Bob is well known and loved for beautiful songs, along with his dry and witty stage humor.

This band is a long-time favorite of our audience, having performed at many concerts and festivals for 40+ years. Led by its wise and witty lead singer and songwriter, Ron Thomason, the quartet presents bluegrass in the best tradition: classics and originals, gospel and cowboy songs, heartfelt lilts of equine love, and galloping instrumentals. With impeccable timing, social commentary, catchy lyrics, and song choice from the oldest traditions, Dry Branch Fire Squad is one of the most entertaining bands in bluegrass.

Two of the most capable and compelling interpreters of Old-time music, Decosimo and Coleman have been making music together for nearly two decades. Joseph cut his musical teeth in East Tennessee folks like Charlie Acuff and Clyde Davenport. Stephanie spent her youth immersed in the rich fiddle traditions around Chicago and the Midwest. More recently, Joseph has performed in the Bucking Mules while Stephanie has worked with Nora Brown, the Red Squirrel Chasers, and Uncle Earl. In performance, they explore old songs and tunes with voices, fiddles, banjo, and pump organ, crafting immersive, patient renditions.

Steam Machine is an old time/bluegrass project fronted by award winning fiddler AJ Srubas and Twin Cities old time music & dance instigator Rina Rossi on guitar. While not purists, Steam Machine does listen closely to the “old stuff” and strives to capture the essence of what makes these tunes and songs special, as they hear it. The project continues to be an evolving vehicle for playing music they love and honoring the brilliance left behind by musical heroes like Lyman Enloe and Cyril Stinnett.

Historian Gary Reid is the foremost authority on the music of the Stanley Brothers. His program uses a mix of storytelling and music to bring to life Carter Stanley’s musical expression – the high lonesome sound that would come to be known the world over as bluegrass. A Life of Sorrow is the story of one man’s musical journey from the Clinch Mountains of Virginia, around the world, and back home again.
