The Carolyn Eyerly Band is a wildly talented bunch of virtuosos including Kevin Church on banjo, Stefan Custodi on bass, and Jeff Kidd on mandolin. Kevin Church began his stellar music career 40 years ago playing banjo and singing in his rich voice with the Country Gentlemen, The Travelers, and Bob Perilla's Big Hillbilly Bluegrass Band, among others. Kevin has performed around the world including at the White House. Carolyn’s phenomenal bass player and harmony singer is Stefan Custodi, also a former member of Bob Perilla's Big Hillbilly Bluegrass Band, as well as Eastman String Band, and Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen. Finally, Eyerly’s magical mandolin player, Jeff Kidd from the Satyr Hill Band, is a seasoned veteran of traditional and contemporary bluegrass music who absolutely "kills it" on mandolin in the style of the infamous Sam Bush. You are certain to be wowed!
