Patricia Jekel

Patricia Jekel is the music wizard of the band - she's got a degree in music, plays and teaches classical piano, is a flute player for the Lake County Symphony.   And did I mention she plays mandolin and a mean fiddle?  “Fiddle is a great balance for me – completely different from my classical background of reading music.  I love the freedom, the simplicity, the soul of this music.”  
PATRICIA' S INTRUMENTS: Fiddle, Mandolin, Dance Caller

"Dock" Jekel

"Dock" Jekel, has been singing and playing banjo for longer than just about anyone can remember.  His clawhammer banjo sound is 100% barn burnin' good fun.   He also plays fiddle.   When he picks one up, his playing method is unlike other frequently heard fiddlers.  Dock plays the instrument lower against his chest to favor his bowing arm, uses a flattened bridge on his fiddle, and plays in different tunings.   Dock aims for his music to transport your imagination to an impossibly rural porch somewhere in the Appalachian Mountains, and to catch you hopping around. 
BAND INSTRUMENTS: Banjo, Fiddle, Dulcimer
