This group combines the talents of six notable musicians responsible for the tapping of thousands of feet across Ohio for the last ten years. Included among the more than eighty-five performances they average each year, are county fairs, “Music on the Levee,” the Becky Thatcher at Marietta, Zanesville’s “Lorena” paddlewheel riverboat, Shaker Woods, Salt Fork Arts & Crafts Fest, Burr Oak and Malabar State Parks, Lowell Oktoberfest, the Moonshine Festival, Cincinnati’s Appalachian Fest, and countless square dances!
