Jeff Horton has played with top New England bluegrass bands, starting with The Neon Valley Boys and Northern Lights. Jeffrey was inducted into the RI Bluegrass Hall of Fame in 2018 and in 2023, The Neon Valley Boys were the first band to be inducted, making Jeff a two-timer.

A recent transplant from Nevada, Zeke Griffin has played with many touring and regional bands out west, in many styles and genres. He also has been a guest player on over a dozen other artist’s albums & projects. A wall known luthier, he built over a 100 instruments and restored countless others.
