 John Cadley | Guitar, mandolin, vocals
John started playing guitar at age 13 after getting a Kingston Trio record from his Aunt Molly and deciding he wanted to be just like Bob Shane. He formed a folk group at boarding school called The Rum Runners and has played in one band or another ever since. His songs have been recorded by Jim Hurst & Missy Raines, Lou Reid, Tony Trischka, John Rossbach, and Silk City (Danny Weiss, Barry Mitterhoff and Larry Cohen). |
 Mark Allnatt | Banjo, guitar, vocals
Mark is a veteran bluegrass musician who has recorded his own CD of original gospel tunes. He started playing banjo on a dare. When Mark was 11 his uncle told him if he could learn to play a song on it he could have it. Mark got the banjo, and his sizzling banjo instrumental, “Cherry Creek Breakdown,” has become a frequently requested staple of the band’s repertoire. |
 Ted Williams | Mandolin, tenor vocals
Ted is the newest member of the band but no stranger to bluegrass. In fact, he has the real “pedigree,” coming from southern Ohio near the Kentucky border. Ted’s family members hung out and played music with the likes of Larry Sparks and Jimmy Martin, and it was there that Ted heard the “real stuff” that listeners enjoy so much in his own playing and singing. |
 John Dancks | Bass
John has been a fixture on the Central New York acoustic music scene since his days at Syracuse University, when he played with banjo great Tony Trischka in the Down City Ramblers. He also played in the national touring act Country Granola with singer Danny Weiss, and remains in constant demand as the go-to man for solid, tasteful stand-up bass. The Lost Boys are lucky to have him. |
 Henry Jankiewicz | Fiddle
Henry made his name as an outstanding old-time, bluegrass, and jazz fiddler during his 15-year stint with the Cranberry Lake Jug Band, which toured nationally, released three LPs on national folk labels, and appeared on Garrison Keillor's Prairie Home Companion. In addition to the Lost Boys, Henry records and tours with National Hammer Dulcimer Champion Dan Duggan, and his song “Einstein the Genius” has been anthologized as one of the most frequently requested songs on Minnesota Public Radio. |
