The Denver Post on Pete Wernick: "They don't call him Dr. Banjo for 
nothing.
Since 1971, Wernick has celebrated and reinvented the banjo with hot 
licks
and rhetoric. For years the backbone of the Grammy-nominated Hot 
Rize,
Wernick primarily showcases his impeccable Scruggs-style picking with 
his
Dixie-grass fusion ensemble, The Live Five."

Violinist, fiddler, composer, producer and educator, Darol Anger is 
at home
in a number of musical genres, some of which he helped to invent. 
With the
jazz-oriented Turtle Island String Quartet, Anger developed and 
popularized
new techniques for playing contemporary music styles on string 
instruments.
The virtuosic "Chambergrass" groups Psychograss and Newgrange, and 
the
plugged-in Anger-Marshall Band feature his compositions and 
arrangements.
His Grammy-nomimated folk-jazz group Montreux was the original 
musical model
for the New Adult Contemporary radio format. The David Grisman 
Quintet
forged a new genre of acoustic string band music with Darol's 
"fertile
inventiveness, surprising touches and technical mastery" (Boston 
Herald)
often in the forefront.
