Chuck Leyda (guitar, mandolin) and Sherri Leyda (rhythm guitar) spent three years touring Renaissance Festivals around the country before meeting Jimmy Newkirk (bass) and the Celtic band The Banshees. During their three years together playing Irish music, they discovered a shared passion for bluegrass and old-time music. They soon became full blown cross-overs. Singleton Street made its MBOTMA debut at the Winter Weekend in March 2000. Craig Evans joined the band a couple years later with his open-back banjo and frailing style, adding the ability to create the full bluegrass and old-time sounds. The band especially enjoys playing Gospel sets which allow them to show off their tight three and four part harmonies, flatpicking guitar leads, and banjo drive.
