Tracy Denson - Bass, vocals
Tracy 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 Denson - Guitar, Mandolin, vocals
Sebie (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.

Les Irvin - Mandolin, vocals
Self-proclaimed as one of the top 5 banjo players in the band, Les is diligent honing his vocal skills with Acme. Growing up in Iowa as a fan of heavy metal, and while attending a music festival at 15 years of age, he was transformed instantly when David Bromberg and band launched into "Yankee's Revenge". He caught the bluegrass bug and has only recently found antibiotics that work.
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 summer season coming, we'll see Les lead the fashion trend with his new designer line of Daisy Duke 'man shorts'. Boy, we can't wait to see that.

John Ramsey - Banjo, vocals
John 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 no where 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.
