He has a very large repetoire, and gets a good smooth sound out of the fiddle. He also plays banjo, guitar, mandolin, and autoharp. Dean Reed is the yougest son of the legendary Henry Reed. He started out as a young boy following his dad with his guitar. He can play 2nd guitar about as good as anyone Ive ever heard. He also plays old style country real well and people go crazy over the old songs he sings. Angie Via is the upright bass player, and she plays with a very solid rhythm. She sings a little bit of back up to Dean, and is usually the life of the band. Chris Via is the founder and the banjo player in the band. He plays with a lot of drive and sings a lot of the dance tunes. He plays fiddle also, and is dedicated to learning Henry Reed's longbow style, and the repetoire of this region. Janie Trobaugh is the newest member. She plays clawhammer banjo, bass and autoharp. She also sings a lot of backup. She has become an excellent, solid old time banjo player. She lives just up the creek from us so we now have years of playing together. |
