The Bow Ties

Winners of the 2018 Rockygrass Band Competition in Lyons CO

The Bow Ties are a group of voracious bluegrass pickers dedicated to precision playing of the masters' classics, they are happy to bring traditional bluegrass into the hearts of audiences far and wide. Band members include Northern California Bluegrass Association's five-time Guitarist of the Year, Yoseff Tucker. Billy Moore is a self-taught banjo picker with the accuracy, and more importantly, the fine understanding of improvisation. Classically trained Jan Purat plays a fiddle that can either break your heart or pull your legs out from under you, sometimes both. Stoic and relaxed, Andrew March picks a mandolin likes its nobody's business. And backing it all up with fierce rhythm is Zach Sharpe on upright bass. The combination of these talented musicians offer a refreshing, exciting and meticulous bluegrass experience.
