We're a family band employing Papa, Mama, and the oldest five children (ranging in age from 10-16) as we sing and play bluegrass music in the eastern United States at festivals, coffeehouses, churches, nursing homes and a variety of other indoor and outdoor events.
Formed in 1989, Stump Hollow has since played bluegrass festivals in Central New York , Maine and Northern Pennsylvania.
Carl Stump on guitar, Ed Entwistle on fiddle, Chris Pepe on banjo, Suzanne Privett on bass, Phil Hustead on Dobro and Lori Thompson on mandolin.
The Atkinson Family Bluegrass Band sound is one of tight three-part family harmonies from guitarists Liza and Shelene Atkinson and banjo linchpin Dick Atkinson; with the driving rhythm interplay of mandolinist Adam Atkinson and dog house double bass player Jimmy Rooney of Cape Vincent.
From the Syracuse area comes an experienced group of musicians. Diamond Someday specializes in close three part female harmony backed by solid instruments. The group brings a spirited approach to a blend of traditional, original, and gospel music. You will enjoy their heartfelt, exciting, brand of Bluegrass.

Andrew and Noah VanNorstrand are two of the most exciting and creative new faces on the acoustic music scene today. While still in their teens, they have managed to carve themselves a unique niche in the modern alternative folk arena with stunning ability as both performers and composers.
John Rossbach has a powerful and compelling voice that evokes the many moods and magic of traditional American roots music. An award-winning multi-instrumentalist, he can lift you with the lilt of an old time mandolin melody, rivet you with a lowdown slide-guitar blues and fire you up with a driving banjo breakdown! John's egregious puns and outrageous tall tales thrill audiences of all ages.
Traditional Bluegrass with a kick!
Justin and Julian Winters on Guitar and Bass, Bob Delnero on Mandolin, Nick Piccininni on Banjo and Fiddle
