 David Wallace has been playing clawhammer banjo and mandolin for thirty five years. He has a vast repertoire of Celtic tunes and bluegrass songs. Two of his greatest loves are playing music and working with wood. He is a professional furniture and cabinet maker. Wallace lives in the Ozark mountains which have a rich hertiage of ole time music.  With a string on his finger, Thomas "Hank" Hogan, began his musical Odyssey, in the fourth grade, on the slide trombone. Followed by a brief stint on the trumpet, he was by seventh grade fully ensconced in the percussion section where he remained through high school and college. He was drafted from the percussion section of the orchestra to a job as an accompanist in the dance department of University of California at Irvine. He also took time to pursue a degree and career in biology. He found Celtic Music so beautiful and fun that he took up the irish drum, the bodhran, harp, cajon, and spoons.  Lucus Wood DeBuhr began his music experience with percussion and now has grown to love the guitar. He adds a brightness to the group with creative rhythms, vocals, and dance.
