Artist History Formed around 1985 the band has had a number of configurations, presently we have Allen Biesman (programmer/analyst, guitar and vocals) original member, Rob Griffith (dad, Student, mandolin and vocals) has been a member for over 12 years, Michael Zweibel (attorney and banjo) for over 7 years, and last but definitely not least Patty Walter has been playing (bass and nursing instructor) and writing original songs for us for over 4 years. We have been playing almost exclusively in the Greeley/Fort Collins area, arts picnics, private parties and an occasional small bluegrass festival or small club gig. We had been doing all covers until Patty joined the group, and after giving us a few originals to workout, we all began working at writing. Back in September of 2000 we went into the studio with the intent of recording an entire CD. We had eight originals and planned to add a couple more along with a couple of covers. We were able to record two of our originals with plans to go back several times to complete the album. Unfortunately we had to shelf the project, put on hold for a while. We have finished our CD, with eight originals and four covers. We think it turned out pretty well and hope others will like it too. We are also proud to have one of Patty’s original songs “The Greatest Thing” on the CD compiled by Colorado Bluegrass Music Society “Bands on Call”.
