In the 90s, backstage at Ben Freed's Muscoot Farm Bluegrass Festival, Lisa Gutkin, (fiddle, tenor guitar, voice), Mark Murphy (bass, cello), Michael Sassano (guitar, mandolin) and Wayne Fugate, (mandolin) gathered for a jam. Lisa pulled out one of her quirky originals and the four were on fire when Ben came around to hear what the commotion was about. The band was on the main stage 20 minutes later.
