History
THE BAND: The Prairie Acre has been playing together since they met through mutual friends in 2002.
THE MUSIC: A caffeinated, old-time good time! With highly contagious positive energy, The Prairie Acre makes no apologies for being a band you can bring home to mom and dad. Their unique sound comes from the jaw-dropping fiddle skills of Tricia Spencer, from banjo player Noah Musser’s unorthodox hybrid style, and from the strong rhythmic backbone provided by bassist Virginia Musser and blues-influenced guitarist Greg Yother. Their repertoire includes a mixture of fast-paced instrumental tunes and singing numbers executed with tight vocal harmonies.
