Mary Simpson and Tara Linhardt have both played loads of bluegrass in Virginia where they grew up, both moved up to the New York City area and met New York native, Christian Apuzzo. They all had a great time jamming and played their first gig together at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival along with some great friends from Nepal doing Himalayan-Appalachian music. They kept playing together going back to their bluegrass roots with their music, and teaming up with bassist Jason Mercer they have become quite a Bluegrass Collusion. They love to make music and love to share it with various audiences and play events large and small. They also all teach music as well as performing in this fun loving high energy band for all occasions.
