The Milroys
The husband and wife songwriting team of CJ and John now takes you on a musical journey through a darker America.

Motor City Sidestrokers
The Motor City Sidestrokers embrace the Depression-era scores, but perform their own original material with the same jump and stomp! The husband-and-wife team of Bob and Ellen Doster takes on the lead and harmony vocals, with Bob on guitar. Doc Mariotti is its resident fiddler, mandolin and tenor banjo player. Jennifer Bagwell adds 5-string banjo, cello, and sweet harmonies. And Tex Ragsdale slaps a bass line while lending back-up vocals. They encourage an interactive performance by inciting controlled rowdiness. Come for the music and stay for the fun!
