We are an acoustic bluegrasscountryswing band named after a distinctive mountain range miles from our home base in Auckland.
Never heard of that bluegrasscountryswing?
Neither had we until we tried it.
We are Neil Finlay on guitar, Bryan Christianson on banjo, Garry Trotman on bass and the remarkable Robbie Laven on fiddle mandolin, washboard – and one day we might get him to sing like the rest of us.
And if you were looking for mountains not music – here’s a picture of the Remarkables in summer – or should that be The Formidables?
