That didn’t stop them winning competitions though – they won the non-traditional band competition three times at West Virginia’s Appalachian String Band festival and placed in the top five bands more times than any other band so far in the 40 year history of the festival (- they also won the festival’s competition for best new composition). Despite being a local/non-touring band (day jobs and families took precedence) their music has been heard on NPR and other radio stations nationwide, and their repertoire of interesting and eclectic international tunes (and yes, they never just played old-time music) has been mined by countless mandolinists and other musicians over the years.
