Vocalist, songwriter Earl Karlsen plays with a sense of rhythm honed over his 20 plus years in the business. Earl loves Stanley Brothers tunes and expresses that. Earl also hosts Bluegrass Express on Saturday mornings on WFDU 89.1.

Arnie Reisman is the banjo picking whiz. He has a driving sound and his arrangements, compositions and musicianship are distinctive. He has a traditional feel and has been strongly influenced by Flatt & Scruggs. Arnie has played with the NYC Bluegrass Champs for over two years, and along with Rita Reisman edits and publishes New Jersey Bluegrass Magazine.

Playing acoustic bassist, Rita Reisman has a solid, straightforward sound. She is a writer who has so much enthusiasm for Bluegrass it’s apparent whe she plays.

Don Sojka is an avid instrument collector and has found himself a Dobro with a sound and tone that let him best express his love for Bluegrass. Don has been playing for over 20 years and was a member of "One Way Ticket". He also sings lead and can add harmonies that are so fine.
