From hard drivin’ banjo solos to four part harmony singing, blues infused mandolin breaks and hair-raising fiddle tunes, this quintet covers all the bluegrass bases.

This group has been playing together in different configurations for close to 20 years and their performances have been described as “more than fine” and “refilling my folk music cup” by audience members.

The Cut-ups include Jess Reimer on bass, fiddler Jeremy Penner, Jeremy Hamm on mandolin and fiddle, banjo/dobro player Tim Osmond and guitarist T.J. Blair. Vocal harmonies are featured prominently in two, three or four parts in a bluegrass style over original compositions and traditional numbers. To hear them come together to perform as a bluegrass band is sure to lure fans of The Stanley Brothers, Jim & Jesse McReynolds, Bill Monroe, Hazel Dickens and others from the bluegrass canon.
