Norman and Richard began playing music together in 1993, focusing on traditional celtic and old time music. 

 

RON BAUGHMAN & GWEN AUMAN: Husband and wife duo Ron Baughman and Gwen Auman hail from Asheboro. Each bringing to the team a lifetime of musical dedication, together they share a love of eclectic music covering a wide range of musical genres, from cover songs to original songs, from Americana to blues and Rockabilly. Their personal closeness and heart-felt harmonies will leave you wanting more!

 

ORIGINAL FORMULA—AL & ROB: Al Elliott and Rob Perkins will showcase their 35 years of musical teamwork as they take you through their catalog of early country music, old time mountain music, turn of the twentieth century crooning (Nick Lucas style) and plenty of their own original tunes as well.
