The Band
 

Robert Sprye is our bass player. Robert's solid bottom playing and easy personality keep us together and steady. He has played music in several styles most of his life, which accounts for his always having a real job on the side.In spite of that he is constantly sought for his award-winning skills and often found using them.He loves the chord structures of Western music and the feel of that Western Swing. Robert is a professional musician whose interest in bass playing began in school at age twelve.He played all through middle and high school until someone made him stop and rest for a minute! He then studied music for three years at UNC-G .He has played with the Greensboro Orchestra and has shared the stage with many high-toned pickers and kickers.

Glen Alexander is our fiddle player, and he can make it smoke! In spite of his youthful appearance, Glen is a veteran performer , playing all his life, therefore never gainfully employed.He is well known on the fiddler's contest circuit, and has won several times as well as judged .Glen is skilled in several musical styles and may play all of them at once..Glens' love for western music comes from hours of his Dad's movies and his love for that swing! Glen teaches and plays full time and is currently spending any spare time with his wife and new baby girl. His award-winning fiddling skills are the spark in our recordings and live performances.
Stewart Robinson is our accordian and piano man. Stewart's warm voice and keyboard skills are the core of our sound. Stewart has had several careers and may have several more.He is a proud veteran who served in Vietnam as a combat helicopter pilot. He graduated from NC State and has been a forester, an engineer, an airplane salesman and a general nuiscance.His interest in music began at an early age and by the time he was eleven he was a member of the Colombus Boychoir, and performed with Toscanini at Carnegie Hall. Since then it's been all pretty much downhill. However; he is not currently on any wanted posters, and so can now be seen with us at live performances, and enjoyed in our recordings.
Maxwell Lofland is our lead singer and guitar player. Looking at his picture you can tell this man would do anything, and so it stands to reason that he be our ramrod. Maxwell's love for singing comes from his family, who loved to sing together. They say the big problem was to get Max to stop singing, as he seemed to think all restauraunts and grocery stores concert halls from age two on. Maxwell has performed and recorded a variety of music styles, but has always been drawn to the stories of the move west, and the music that has come from it. He has been self employed for 28 years, raised two daughters, and has been married for an eternity. His vocal stylings and solid guitar rythyms are the punch to our style.
