Brandon Adams says some of the stuff he's done is pretty cool. Included in that is being on the "Celebration of Life" album by Skaggs Family Records that won an IBMA award, playing on a Tom T. Hall label album, and recording his own album "Hardest Kind of Memories" that got him a great write up in Flatpicking Guitar Magazine. He appears on RBR with several buddies, including Bo Isaac, Zach Rambo, Elmer Burchett and Haley Burchett.-- some extremely hot players.
A native of North Carolina, Riley Baugus represents the best of old time American banjo and song. His powerful singing voice and his expert musicianship place him squarely in the next generation of the quality American roots tradition. Riley was involved in the Academy Award-winning film "Cold Mountain. From there Riley has made his own path, building in-demand instruments and performing at festivals all over the world. His recording, "Long Steel Rail" (Sugar Hill Records, 2006), produced by Tim O'Brien and Dirk Powell, appeared to critical acclaim, with Billboard Magazine heralding it as "..quintessential American old-time music." In 2008, he contributed to the Grammy award winning Album Of The Year, "Raising Sand" -- the multi-million selling album by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant. Riley has taught at camps and festivals around the world. When not teaching or building banjos, Riley can be found out on the road performing with the Dirk Powell Band, with Kirk Sutphin and with K C Groves. He is a frequent guest of Polecat Creek and of Tim O'Brien with Dirk Powell.
