On the Band

Mike clark jr

“Mike was instrumental through every process of this record, doing the recording, engineering, mixing and mastering, while playing drums, bass and rhythm guitar throughout. He’s a guy that’s been a good friend and long-term collaborator and is someone whose musicianship and variety of expertise in the studio was completely invaluable; without him this project would never have been accomplished. You can find Mike playing around greater Boston, including alongside myself in the Irish folk group Boxty.”

Jon bonner

“Jon Bonner plays electric guitar on several of the cuts. Jon is a dear friend and a phenomenal guitarist and songwriter, and was kind enough to lend his talents to this project. Catch Jon playing throughout Central Massachusetts with his band Boogie Chillin’.”

Bobby britt

“I’ve had the immense pleasure of making music with my friend Bobby Britt at various times over the years. His improvisational skills on the fiddle are second-to-none, and what he was able to contribute to this project is absolutely phenomenal. Check out his solo work, as well as his work with the acclaimed bluegrass and alt-country group Town Mountain.”
