*Just who are these Roustabouts? *
| Big Banjo Bob Bailey (or Captain Banjo Bob, as he frequently has to change his name in order to stay ahead of his pursuers) With his fingers flying, plucker's pluckin, and baritone booming Bob's the anchor man for our tug of war team. He's been playing banjo since before..., well since before they were even invented. Not only is he cute but he makes his own banjos! |
Austin
Yup, just Austin. Like Sting or Bono or Cher (no
on second thought definitely not like Cher) all
the really cool classics only have one name. This
again might also have something to do with
staying ahead of pursuers. Austin's guitar
provides the rhythmic bounce and tumble that
gets your toes tapping and his beer soaked voice
makes you feel like you belong.

Richard Leps
With his stealthy Stradivarius Richard appears and
disappears at will. Its actually his superpower.
But then out of nowhere he slides on in and
starts stroking and hacking like a madman. You
weep like a baby when he softly massages that
thing or you get up and dance when he's sawing
it in half. You're helpless. You can only weep or
dance.

Andy Karpay
Mr. Mandolin. His love of the mandolin forced him to learn
(and love) old time and bluegrass styles. A founding member
of the infamous “C&W Mow Company”, whether playing
country, bluegrass, blues, Reggae, or jazz his motto is:
“When the only tool you have is a hammer everything looks
like a nail”. With a feathery touch, racing riffs, and jazzy
back beats in his bag of tricks no one can doubt his
supernatural abilities.

Fiddle Boy Joey Trivette
This Appalachian Ingénue was found fiddlin for
food at a local festival. They all warned us not
to feed him, that he wouldn't go away... but
did we listen??? This kid is a multi-faceted
instrumentalist and can play almost anything.
His high-and-lonesomes are heavenly and his
boot-scoots are boisterous, he adds a whole
new spice to the FMB gumbo.

bringing in the bottom to our sound. Not only

instruments in the country
