Jim Faddis’ soulful voice strikes a chord deep within audience members, and resonates a musical memory of long ago. His bluegrass band, Prairie Flyer, has been firing up the Washington State bluegrass scene for years, and is a reflection of Faddis’ talent and skill. His gift for song writing and his songster ways shine in his work, where he leans on styles from Gillian Welch to Neil Young for inspiration making new and old tunes his own.

As a part of Grammy nominee Kate MacKenzie’s touring band, Dale Atkins has performed across the U.S. and Europe . Many of the Northwest’s premier Bluegrass bands have benefited from Dale’s creative mastery of the guitar including the groups Out of the Blue, Dr. Corn’s Bluegrass Remedy, Frontline, True North, Old Growth Acoustic Quartet. Dale can be seen playing a mahogany Preston Thompson acoustic guitar built in Sisters, OR.
