2009 Regional Bands
Finders and Youngberg
     

They are two married couples playing original bluegrass, country, and folk with the same grin and snarl that made this music important to begin with. Mike and Amy Finders (say finn-ders), and Aaron and Erin Youngberg are four distinct musicians, merging styles, songs, voices and grooves in an interplay that is exhilarating, gratifying, and often hilarious. They are young veterans of the folk and bluegrass circles, and play banjo, harmonica, bass, mandolin, pedal steel, and guitar, while they sing new songs, and tell new stories. The songs are sticky. Some of them have won awards. The singing is heart-felt, full of beauty and power. They perform “with a punch and transparent immediacy that effectively places the privileged listener smack-dab in the middle of an intimate, front-parlor guitar pull.” - Jim Musser Although F & Y is new, the four musicians have played all over the country in groups known for radio friendly recordings, stellar stage shows and notable awards. Hit and Run Bluegrass, Billy Pilgrims, Uncle Earl, and Mike and Amy’s decade long career together have sharpened the axes of these wood-choppers,leaving them poised to produce their warmest, most honest work to date in Finders and Youngberg.
