Band members include Ken Moore from Middleville, lead singer and rhythm guitar; Judy Moore on the stand up bass; Bob Burghdoff from Hastings on fiddle, and Orville Harrington from Hastings on dobro, mandolin, fiddle.

Folk music gathering coordinator J. D. Gonzales said, “They play a variety of music, bluegrass, country, folk, gospel, and instrumentals. They play for fun and the love of music.”
