Deborah McDonnell and Friends at the Java Room

Deborah grew up singing with her dad's country band in Pennsylvania and later attended Woodstock (the original!). That makes for a rich stew of contemporary Bluegrass, Country and Folk-Rock. Legendary multi-instrumentalist, the artist known as S2 -- Stu Ervin -- has performed in bands from Austin to Boston and is currently wanted in every state. Steve ("Mr. Smith") Smith lends his gorgeous, country-rock vocals and finger-picking  guitar. Greg Algieri fills in the bottom with  standup bass and durable baritone vocals. And Dave Kassel, on violin, has been honing his skill since high school. He plays in the Concord (MA) Orchestra and slums it in Bluegrass.
