(Yankee Coalition • Lincoln Boys • Underwater People • Nip & Tuck) For over 40 years, Danny “Hot Rod” Lincoln has been pickin’, grinnin’, and tearing up stages across the Midwest. He’s a traditionalist with a rebel streak — the kind of player who honors the old ways while bending them into something unmistakably his own. His banjo work is equal parts precision and attitude, and now that he’s discovered Gorilla Snot, there’s no telling what kind of sonic mischief he’ll unleash next.

(Big Top Chautauqua’s Blue Canvas Orchestra • Chance • The Original He‑Man Soundtrack Recordings) Ed Willett is the trio’s mad scientist — a creative force who brings innovation, mastery, and a spark of beautiful madness to every performance. His résumé reads like a fever dream of musical adventures, and his playing proves he’s lived every bit of it. When Willett steps in, the music doesn’t just lift — it mutates, transforms, and takes the audience somewhere they didn’t expect to go.

Singer • Songwriter • Rhinelander Original Scott Kirby is the voice and the storyteller — a singer‑songwriter with roots deep in Rhinelander soil and a gift for turning lived experience into something raw and resonant. His vocals carry the smoke of late nights, the weight of real stories, and the spark that ties this whole wild trio together.

Together, these three create a musical experience that’s equal parts tradition and rebellion. Their sound blends bluegrass grit, outlaw energy, and a fearless streak of experimentation. Every show feels like a backwoods revival crossed with a roadside carnival — unpredictable, electric, and impossible to forget.

They’re not here to fit into a genre box. They’re here to blow the box apart.
