This band from Frankfort, Kentucky has made a great impact on their audiences in the two years they've been together. They manage to blend each member's deep respect and knowledge of bluegrass tradition with the whole group's up-to-date attitude and sparkling fresh sound. Jack, Paul, Wesley and Scotty are all seasoned veterans when it comes to picking and singing. Versatility, creativity, and experience are evident on every cut -- so put the CD in your player, kick back, and enjoy the unforgettable sounds of No Tools Loaned."
