Proficient on 6 instruments, Bill usually relies on his trusty Martin D-28 to help him entertain. Donning one of several Stetsons in his collection, he delivers many jokes, stories of a time foreign to many to today, but oh so vivid to many in his audiences. He incorporates tunes from the 30’s/ 40’s/ 50’s and 60’s plus a good healthy dose of Gospel music and sing-a-longs.

Reed Jones is an accomplished instrumentalist, vocalist and songwriter, having several songs published and recorded. Together with Purk, the duo make a perfect fit in presenting nearly 75 years of bluegrass.
