John Cowan "The Voice of Newgrass," he has been singing for more than 40 years, and his vocals have grown with the passing years have only gotten better with the years. He's great whether he's singing country, bluegrass, gospel, soul, jazz or rock-and-roll - and often goes from one to the other in a single concert. He is admired not only by hundreds of thousands of fans, but also by critics and other musicians. His star shone brightest in 1974 when he began playing bass in a new band called New Grass Revival. After a few gigs, he was offered a permanent engagement. His unmistakable tenor and energetic electric bass playing became one of the symbols of the of the band. After New Grass Revival ended in 1990, John recorded several critically acclaimed albums and while also performing on other musicians' records as both vocalist and bassist. He continued to perform primarily solo and with his band (the John Cowan Band), often turning to his newgrass roots. John is a fixture at all the major festivals such as the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and MerleFest. Since 2010 he has performed regularly with the Doobie Brothers and more recently with the Darin and Brooke Aldridge Band, in a lineup called The HercuLeons, and with the New Grass AllStars.

Among modern violinists, Anger stands out for his versatility and depth, and his work with many pioneering ensembles such as the David Grisman Quintet, Republic Of Strings, Turtle Island String Quartet, Montreux, Psychograss, The Duo, and others has contributed to the evolution of contemporary string music.
Mike Marshall has been at the forefront of new acoustic music for over 40 years, having been a founding member of many groups including the Montreux Band, Psychograss, Choro Famoso and The Anger Marshall Band. He made his Carnegie Hall debut at age 20 with jazz violin legend Stephane Grappelli as a member of the David Grisman Quartet. In 1985, he performed at this famous hall with his own classical ensemble, The Modern Mandolin Quartet.
