Tracy DensonBass, vocalsTracy proves that although patience may be a virtue, a good whack to the back of Sebie's head keeps her stress level low. With a voice as clear as a mountain stream, this New Mexico farmer's daughter can provide vocals to soothe the savage beast. Tracy provides a solid backbone with a steady beat on bass, either acoustic electric or upright. Tracy is also a talented harmony vocalist. Tracy can hold a note longer than the bank has held your mortgage. A true testament to Tracy's skills can be found in her 'ear-splitting'.... no, that doesn't sound good... how about 'awe-inspiring' rendition of "RUBY". It'll leave you gasping for air. |

Sebie DensonGuitar, Mandolin, vocalsSebie (better known as Mr. Tracy Denson) plays guitar, sings a bit and talks...and talks...and talks. Although one might think that Sebie is occasionally attempting - and succeeding at - a very sad stand-up comic routine, never let it be said that he lacks energy. He has, in fact, been voted The Wiggliest Man in Bluegrass five years in a row. With a true love of bluegrass, the New Mexico native plays as though he was born in the Appalachian Mountains, but with two more teeth. Learning to sing and play from his parents, he continues the family legacy in music. Willing to do almost anything to please an audience, Sebie will drag the rest of the band through a wild variety of songs. Sometimes it feels like driving a Model T with a flat along a mountain trail made by a mule, a little bumpy but a lot of fun. |

John RamseyBanjo, vocalsJohn Ramsey is playing banjo for our little group. John is the undisputed bluegrass ukulele champion of the Front Range. John is also a talented multi-instrumentalist, but he prefers to only play banjo publicly. He has found that people don't put a lot of mental pressure on the banjo player. Content with his musical anonymity, John wows our audience with bluesy, rock-a-billy banjo as only he can. Talented luthier, musician and yes, even vocalist, watch him closely and listen even closer. John is a 3-time Colorado State Banjo Champion - really! Some surprising quips pop out of nowhere from our demure banjoist. By the by, John has made it popular for men to wear open toed shoes. Just take a look the next time you see us. |

Les IrvinMandolin, vocalsSelf-proclaimed as one of the top 5 banjo players in the band, Les is diligently honing his vocal skills with Acme. Growing up in Iowa as a fan of anything but bluegrass, he was transformed instantly when David Bromberg and band launched into "Yankee's Revenge" at a festival. He caught the bluegrass bug right then and there and has only recently found antibiotics that help counteract it. After 30+ years of wishing he were playing in a bluegrass band, Les finally saw that wish come true. With no new dreams to come true, Les decided to quit that band and make our dream come true by creating Acme Bluegrass. Never one to rest on his laurels (he prefers recliners) Les has now set his sights on LEAD VOCAL for an entire show. Of course, with the cold weather here, we'll see Les working hard on his new Spring line of Daisy Duke 'man shorts' to be revealed in a few months. Boy, we can't wait to see that. |
