Dick Staber (vocal, mandolin) and Judith Chasnoff (vocal, guitar) have been performing their unique brand of folk and bluegrass-based acoustic music since 1993.

Even in their original numbers, Staber and Chasnoff maintain a pure, traditional sound--a sound reminiscent of the "brother" duets of the 1930's, particularly the Monroe brothers.  In their evocative and focused performances they bring the material to life through pristine harmonies and expressive mandolin breaks, well-grounded in solid rhythm.  

Note: For venues which call for a three or four piece band they are joined by good friends Daryl Smith (banjo) and Steve Feinbloom (bass).
