At the heart of the sound of the Blue River Band is the husband and wife duo, Austin and Andree Hurst, known for their vocal blends, tight harmonies, and the warm tones of their guitars, mandolin, and fiddle. Their song selection flows through roots and Americana, winding through country, folk, and bluegrass, touching both past and present. Each performance is a gathering—sometimes just the two of them, sometimes joined by friends on bass, harmonica, dobro, and/or percussion. Together, they create a current of songs—originals and timeless covers—that invite you to drift through time, and reflect on love lost and found.

The Rough Edges are a classic rock cover band playing songs that you know and love from the 1960s and 1970s. We specialize in high energy, fun-loving songs that played on the radio during that classic era of rock music, but perhaps didn’t peak at number one. So, the songs jog the memory and get you grooving, but don’t feel played out. Our five-piece band, including our array of vocalists, provides a very full sound for your listening pleasures. We are all friends and bring a warmth and sense of fun to our live shows. The Rough Edges are: Juliana Birnbaum (vocals, percussion), Frank Gilbert (guitar), Harry Gray (guitar, vocals), Michael Hanna (bass, vocals) and Neil Sachs (drums, vocals).
