Bruce MacDonald and Dan Skabeikis have been playing together for the past 15 years. Bruce and Dan won the Long Island Blues Competition in 2013 and competed in the International Blues Challenge in Memphis. Now, along with the addition of Lindsay Reeve, they have evolved into a rollicking, toe tapping, goodtime trio of accomplished musicians playing jug band music, country blues, folk, Tin Pan Alley and their own versions of more contemporary tunes.

Dan Skabeikis is a well known violinist throughout the Long Island, New York region having played with many of the areas finest classical, country, bluegrass and blues musicians. Bruce plays fingerstyle 12 string, six string, and resonator slide guitars, as well as clawhammer banjo, mandolin, and autoharp. Rounding out the trio, Lindsay Reeve adds percussion, harmonica, squeeze box, and his own unmistakable zaniness to the mix.
