After years of performing stringband music with such groups as the North Fork Rounders and Boiled Buzzards in his home state of Ohio, Christian Wig has taken a step farther into the past. Focusing on music of the Eastern Frontier in America before 1840 by listening to extant recordings of fiddlers who can trace their tunes and styles of playing back to a time before minstrelsy, before radio, before modern notions of timing, he is like a time machine producing the echoes of a nearly forgotten form of music that is truly American. His lovely and haunting fiddle music and primal gourd banjo playing are a rare treat.

One of the most respected guitar players in old time music today, Beverly Smith is also in demand as a singer, fiddler, and dance caller. She has made numerous recordings, backing up fiddlers Bruce Molsky, Rafe Stefanini, Tara Nevins and Brad Leftwich, vocalizing with Irish musicians Mick Moloney and John Doyle,  singing with bluegrass great Laurie Lewis, and for the last few years performing as a duet with Carl Jones. Beverly, now a Georgia resident, has taught and played at many camps and folk festivals and toured across the U.S. and in Europe.
