Springfed serves up a gratifying spread of tunes from Appalachian ballads to cowboy songs to original compositions from their hundred years of combined musical experience. Bill Burke is a master of the five string banjo and an artful mandolin player as well. Tony Norris’ rich tenor voice is complemented by his sensitive guitar work and he’s prone to telling a good story. They are joined by Elena Gonzalez, a classically trained violinist who is bravely exploring the Dark Side of fiddling.
