Patti Casey has earned her spot as a fixture on the northeastern US folk scene through sheer talent and artistic self discipline.

She is a prolific songwriter and has perfected her own New England-flavored bluegrassy style, one that shines equally with welcome, familiar sounds as well as undeniable originality. She has recorded five solo albums, and her latest, “The Heart of A Waiting Boy”, is aural testament to, “the sweetest voice and some of the finest songwriting to come out of Vermont…” (Vermont Public Radio). With an impressive roster of accompanying musicians (Pat Donohue, Gary Raynor, Pete Sutherland, Colin McCaffrey, Moondi Klein, Sarah Blair…) – attesting to the respect she inspires within her own milieu – the album is the apple, ripe and ready for picking, the reflection of her musical maturity and drive to constantly hone her creations. The girl can also write amazing songs!

Her career has taken her to many places along the way: she has appeared live on “A Prairie Home Companion” with Garrison Keillor, has won Texas’s prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Songwriter’s Competition, and was a winner of the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at the legendary Merlefest in Wilkesboro, North Carolina as well as at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival’s Troubadour songwriters contest .

Colin's songwriting and playing are rooted in traditional folk and American forms. Self produced and recorded in 2003, his acclaimed independent release Make Your Way Home fuses bluegrass, country, folk, zydeco, and roots rock into a unique regional hybrid. Seven Days called it a almost perfectly balanced, beautiful sounding bluegrass/folk record packed with high quality songs and high caliber musicianship. Colin's guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and bass playing are the backbone of the record that also features Kerrville winner Patti Casey and stellar playing by regional stars Jim Pitman on Dobro and Jeremiah McLane on Accordion. Make Your Way Home was voted in the top-10 Vermont Albums of the Year by both the Burlington Free Press and Seven Days.

ColinÕs 2001 debut independent release What We've Got was produced in Nashville by 8-time Grammy winner Bil VornDick (Alison Krauss, Bela Fleck, Ralph Stanley). Recorded December of 2000, this record highlights Colin's country and bluegrass singing and songwriting, backed by session musicians and one-time Dixie-Chick Patty Mitchell singing harmony vocals. Colin is a record producer, arranger, and session musician.

SINGOUT! magazine reviewer John Lupton has called Bob “one of the most consistently interesting and intelligent songwriters in Americana music.”

Bob’s new CD Wide Open Blue is his third solo release, and contains a wide variety of original songs, reflecting folk, bluegrass, celtic, blues, country and rock influences.

Bob’s previous solo projects Wherever I Go and Reels Of Life received terrific reviews and airplay on Americana/Acoustic radio stations throughout the USA.

From 1988-2003 Bob was the lead singer, guitarist and guiding force behind the internationally known bluegrass band Front Range, which recorded 8 CDs, including 5 for famed acoustic Indie label SUGAR HILL RECORDS. Front Range toured throughout America and Europe, and received heavy airplay on Acoustic, Americana and Bluegrass radio stations. Their CD One Beautiful Day won the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Gospel Recording of the Year in 1995.
