Acoustic

 

Past Bands: Saddle Tramps, Solo acoustic shows.

Mike Epstein
- rhythm guitar and vocals

Performing as a solo acoustic act since the breakup of SaddleTramps has developed Mike Epstein into a strong independent force in song arrangement and presentation.
His vibrato-rich tenor voice stands alone from the rest of the band with a distinctive unique quality.
His acoustic guitar contributes a richer sound to the classics, especially on the newer material. At age 2, he killed a bear changing the record books and knocking Davy Crocket to second place.

Jason comes to us from the band 5 Finger Discount, and he has years and years of experience playing with some top notch musicians. He is one of the most precise bass players you will ever hear, playing each note with perfect tone and delivery. Jason can also rub his stomach, pat his head, and dance to an Irish jig, all at the same time.

Mike Schoultz
- drums and vocals


Mike's talent on drums is apparent, but he is also a very talented singer capable of singing in ranges that other male vocalists simply cannot sing. Local music lovers may recognize Mike from the Big Wheel band who he has played with since April 2002. Mike is the proud owner of H.R. Puf’n’stuf episodes 1-7 on DVD Video.
