Jim Bertolin has been playing bluegrass since the 1970's when he played with Windy Ridge Ramblers andn Prairie Union Bluegrass Band, touring the midwest. He plays a variety of styles, from classic Scruggs to melodic fiddle tunes, and old-time frailing. His musical influences for traditional banjo playing are Earl Scruggs, Ralph Stanley, J.D. Crowe, but for his melodic influence he credits Bob Black and Jack Hicks. His favorite new banjo player is Robbie McCoury. His main dobro influence (did we mention that Jim also is their dobro player?) is Josh Graves.

Darrell Cox was born in Fort Collins, Colo. He grew up a few hundred miles from there on a ranch in western Kansas where his family raised cattle and quarter horses which they raced all over Kansas, Colorado and New Mexico.  Darrell was raised on old country music and his family’s musical talent.  His mother played the mandolin and his uncle the guitar and banjo.  He became interested in playing the mandolin once out of high school.  As he moved around the country and even to Germany the mandolin opened many doors to friendships that remain strong. He played with several bands in Wisconsin Blue Eagle, The Lawrence Family, Blue Sky String Band and Pickin up Speed.  He also played with Brush Arbor south of Memphis Tenn. Darrell’s musical influences were John Moore & Bluegrass ETC, Blue Highway and Ricky Skaggs.  Through the years Darrell has developed his own hard driving style of playing those cherished fiddle tunes of Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley.  He currently plays a Collins MF 5.

Luke Eisenhauer began his music career at age 14 playing electric bass for Pittsburgh, PA alternative rock and blues/funk bands. Luke studied jazz guitar and began writing songs at Oberlin College in Ohio where he managed to sneak into the Conservatory of Music's instrument storage room and play an upright bass for the first time. He got hooked on the standup bass, but it wasn't until he moved to Lyons, Colorado in 2003 that he began playing in earnest. Since moving west, Luke helped form the Redstone Bluegrass Band and plays with the Rock City Barnburners, a local americana/bluegrass group. Luke's main bluegrass influences are Blue Highway, the Del McCoury Band and Open Road. In the words of the man: "I'm excited to join forces with the Stanleytones; these guys pen some great original material and really get after it when they're on stage. Come say hello at our next gig!"

Clarke Wright has been playing Bluegrass in some form or another since the early 1970s. He worked with David Ferretta and the Sunday River Boys in Denver in the mid ‘70s and appears on their Biscuit City recording “You Can Dress ‘Em Up, But You Can’t Take ‘Em Out.” If you ask Clarke how long he has been playing fiddle he will tell you, “Long enough to where you would say, ‘Wow, shouldn’t you be better than that?’” He has spent over 30 years with The Hollywood Rodeo Band and later their pared down acoustic version, High, Wide and Handsome. HRB/HWH recorded 7 albums and has toured extensively, visiting over 40 nations and territories, entertaining our nation’s Armed Forces.

He picked up the fiddle ‘sometime back in the 20th Century’, and is self taught. “When I hit a wrong note or clam-out a break I just blame my teacher,” Clarke says.
