Abby grew up in central Pennsylvania listening to her mom and dad sing harmony.  When she was just five-years-old, she began singing with them in her church.  While in middle school, she started to learn the mandolin, and later played in a student band based out of the Pennsylvania Bluegrass Academy.  One semester in college was spent in Martha’s Vineyard at the Contemporary Music Center, where Abby began to hone her songwriting skills.  In 2006, she won third place for her vocal performance at the Deer Creek Fiddler’s Convention in Carroll County Maryland.  In 2010, as part of the all-female old-time band, The Battleaxe Band, she won first place in the band competition at the Hagood Mill Summer Festival in Pickens, South Carolina.  In addition to playing the mandolin, Abby also plays the guitar and piano.

 Originally from Maryland, Micah grew up with a diverse musical background.  He was cultured to classical music by his mother, who toured with the University of Maryland Chorus, and exposed to the music of bluegrass legend, Mac “The Voice with a Heart” Wiseman through his father’s love for bluegrass.  Micah has explored many forms of music.  Through playing in various rock bands in high school and college, he eventually found his home back in the roots music his father exposed him to as a child.  While in college, he played in a roots-based duo with Erie, Pennsylvania-based Americana singer-songwriter, Matt Texter.  Micah also was a member a few years with the bluegrass band, Hanover Express.  Micah plays the guitar, clawhammer banjo, and the mandolin.
