Welcome to Gaia! ::

I know the acordian player is a pro skateboarder

Even the dvd has little on the other six but enough. The youngest one, the one who plays the Guitar, he joined when he was 17 or something because he was a rebel XD
the accorden player (Matt?) had learned how to play short pior to joining 'replacing' their own one who never came back. Bridget started playing the fiddle/voilen when she was three but never learned how to read notes. She got along pretending to read music and playing for odd jobs/recordings until she met Dave. There was alot more but I can't remember. I guess I have to watch the DVD again.
@_@

an interview with the band

another interview

and another one...


they all have some personal info. on the other band members. not a lot. Just stuff like Matt Hensley starting out as one of the first pro. skaters
and Bridget never really taking fiddle lessons, just going into pubs and bars and such as a child and watching a group of people just break out their fiddles and start playing...
george's dad died when he was a child, i believe
nathen joined the band after seeing them once in molly malone's. he had been doing bass lessons for about 6 moths. he asked to join and dave said "we'll think about it" and a few months (?) later after their bass player quit dave called nathen and asked him to join...
i think something happened w/ nathen's dad, too...like he left or died when he was 14? i'm not sure


if you watch Whiskey on a Sunday (the documentary DVD/acoustic and live CD) they touch on all the band members...so you'd get more out of that one I think

i got my copy at Target for 10 dollars...you should try Target...heh...but NEVER walmart, because walmart is the devil as far as cd's go...and stuff...but yea the DVD is a documentary and basically is broken into parts about each member of the band and stuff. it's pretty nifty. xd

IT PWNS!
the bobler reel is the best
biggrin

Even "Whiskey on a Sunday" was all about him. During about half the songs you could barely hear the music (which I believe is the best part; not that Dave sings bad or anything, he's really good) because it was centered around his vocals. I don't want a slow song, I want ones I can dance to!
