THE BAND
RICH MATHIESON
// bass, guitar, vocals
Rich’s early influences were the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Bowie. He then became enamored with the music off Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young and Bob Dylan, hanging out with his friends in high school banging on guitars and blowing into harmonicas. In college, he discovered the Grateful Dead and the bass guitar, two entities that remain a passion in his life to this day.
AMY CROUSE-POWERS
// vocals
Amy’s musical interests turn typically to folk and classic rock. The Grateful Dead and The Indigo Girls have always been two of her favorite bands. True to her family’s Appalachian roots, she also enjoys bluegrass and old time music. And these days, she loves several current Americana bands and even a little country music.
JONATHAN POWERS
// guitar, bass, vocals
Jonathan’s earliest memories of music involve dancing around in a circle to his father’s 8 track of Johnny Cash. He went on to play bass as a teenager in several punk rock and heavy metal bands and then started playing acoustic guitar in his twenties. Since then, his musical tastes have expanded to include Bob Dylan, The Grateful Dead, and Neil Young as well as more contemporary artists as the Avett Brothers and Old Crow Medicine Show.
