The Band





Cutch Tuttle

Cutch has been playing banjo and leading the band since the beginning of time. When he gets going, there's no stopping him. Cutch teaches music and lives with his family in Staunton.

Chris Carpenter

Chris is a charter member of the band. His mandolin has been known to catch on musical fire when Chris plays a fast one. Chris lives in Staunton and recently celebrated the birth of his first child.

Michael Emerson

The band's secret weapon! Emerson has been blowin' the harp with the band as long as anyone can remember. Emerson lives in Staunton where he owns a business. He is an active member of the Staunton Music Guild.

Michael Giordano

Michael started with the band in 2003 playing the guitar. He now saws a mighty mean fiddle and has been known to light a flame under the feet of many a flat-foot dancer. Michael and his wife live and work in the Charlottesville area.

Dave Hazlett

Dave is new to the band--he's the guy who keeps things nice and straight and even with his bluegrass guitar. Dave is a professional artist who lives in Staunton. Look for him at the next area art show.

Jeremy Hinkle

Jeremy is the newest member of the band, but when it comes to playing the bass, he's an old hand. He lays down the rhythm, and we go along for the ride. Jeremy recently finished trade school and lives and works in Staunton.

"Hippie" Dave

Dave is the best groupie any band could ask for! His salesmanship and general support is invaluable. Dave is a lifetime resident of Crimora, Virginia, but has been all around the world.
