The Bertolin Barn: www.bertolinbarn.com

Since opening its doors in March 2008, the Bertolin Barn has become a favorite place to hear authentic bluegrass, country and swing music performed live - the way it was meant to be.

There's simply no better place to see high-caliber national and regional bands in an intimate, personal setting. It feels like you're enjoying your own private performance, just for you and your friends!

Ome Banjos: www.omebanjos.com

I guess I've been playing a banjo designed by Chuck Ogsbury since I bought
my old Ode style D in the 70's. My good friend Dave Patton from Coal Creek
Bluegrass Band, said it cut through so well at jams it could peel the wall
paper off the walls. Several years back the Ome banjo company made me a
custom archtop. It's a fine a banjo you will find anywhere with beautiful
curly maple neck and resonator, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, chrome
plating and tasteful inlays. The tone is outstanding. So if you want great
tone and fine craftsmanship check out an Ome.

Paoletti Resonators and Guitars: www.paolettiresonators.com

If you are looking for a great resonator guitar, the guitars made by Romano
Paoletti deserve a serious look. My old Dobro was getting worn, and when I
saw the workmanship in Romano's guitars I ordered one. With his
recommendations to my specifications I got just what I wanted right down to
the sound.
