On fiddle and vocals, Lora Kendall can also be found playing classical music as a violinist in the Sound Symphony.
Session drummer Rob Langley is featured on percussion and vocals. He’s even done work for producer Shadow Morton. That’s Robert drumming on the Shangri-Las’ “Leader of the Pack.” He even got to rev that iconic motorcycle!
