THE MAIN LINE GRAVY SOPPERS 10am - 12:30pm

The Main Line Gravy Soppers are an old time string band featuring Rebecca Adams on clawhammer banjo, vocals, and dance board; Jeffrey Adams on guitar; Jason Miller on fiddle, vocals, and banjo, and Johann Miller on stand-up bass and vocals. Their songs range from fast raucous vaudeville numbers to haunting old fiddle tunes, always telling a story. Rebecca, Jeff, and Johann create a driving rhythm while fiddler Jason gets the crowd jumping out of their boots. This combination of music and G-rated rowdiness makes a big time for all listening. The Main Line Gravy Soppers are quickly becoming favorites at local venues in Frederick County, Maryland and Loudon County, Virginia where they delight folks from 3 years old to 91.Web Site
