Musicians & Callers

We are fortunate to have a bountiful supply of talent in our area. Among the nationally known ECD musicians who call this area home are 3/4 of Bare Necessities and 3/3 of Alchemy. They’re presented here in random order for maximum serendipity; use the handy search box if you’re looking for someone specific by name or instrument, or search ‘website’ to see who has one listed.

(This list includes everyone who’s played or called for us in recent years; let us know if we’ve missed you or you want your info changed.)
