Mike has traveled the world in pro rock bands in his previous life - you may know him from bands such as "Say Uncle", "Tora Tora" or "Skeleton Crew". Mike is now our number one Mandolin player - and he can make "The Gibson" sing!
John plays great rhythms and always has an infectious smile. One of his full-time jobs is as the director of the Crossword Cafe - a Church-sponsored youth coffee house in Chillicothe. Favorite food - Fedora’s Potato Pizza. He once took an International tour - where he played in real Irish Pubs!
Ray Crow is our newest member. He hails from Canton. Ray is multi talented - he sings, writes songs and plays anything with strings!
His specialty is guitar, vocals and Mandolin!
Dave has a rich deep voice as our lead vocalist. He was instrumental in the formation of the band. Way back in the 80’s he took Rick to Branson where he was inspired to learn the banjo which led to the formation of the Mountain Men. Little did he know...
Jim has been a recent blessing to the band to add to our rhythm section on guitar – and he can sing and pick a mandolin too!
Durwin Nigus is our main bass player. He is largely responsible for keeping us on time. We are so thankful for the rich tones of his low bass notes which fills out the sound pallet of a bunch of high squeaky instruments!
Harvey is our award-winning fiddle player. Wisdom from Harv - "you store a violin in a padded case but you just hang a fiddle on a nail".
Favorite movie - "Oh Brother Where Art Thou".
Super Power - He can clear a crowded room using only a banjo.
