Susie and Joe have been playing and singing together since the early 80s. They performed together in The Piedmont Hepcats (along with Ted Ehrhard and Allen Cottrell) and in The Radio Rangers (with Carl Jones and Nowell Creadick). They now rejoin forces to remember old songs and sing some new ones.
Susie Crate likes to think she has come full circle in her storytelling and singing. After a decade of singing and storytelling in the Piedmont Triangle from the early-80s to early-90s, Susie began traversing the globe, mostly in the direction of Siberia where she ended up building an academic career researching cultural adaptations to change overall and specifically to climate change. Now she has returned to her home in Bynum to begin the next chapter of her life and she brings stories and songs both old and new.
Known around the world for his clawhammer banjo playing, Joe Newberry is also a powerful guitarist, singer and songwriter.

Rebecca Newton calls herself a “North Carolina-based old hippie chick musician turned author who’s done everything but jump out of an airplane (but there’s still time).”
Her 7-piece swing/early jazz/R&B band, “Rebecca & The High Tones,” was a NC institution for 30 years. Rebecca has been commissioned by National Public Radio to write and produce feature music for “All Things Considered,” has composed music for several theatrical productions, and co-produced a documentary with Clyde Edgerton. Her latest solo album is “Riding Ponies to the Moon“, which she refers to as a “Music Storybook.” Ponies points to various chapters in her southern novel called “A Simple but Kind Gesture on What Was Otherwise an Ordinary Day.” The novel is Newton’s first prose project.

The Badgett Sisters traveled around the world and performed at Carnegie Hall. As of 2019, “Connie B.” performs as an acappella musician and storyteller solo artist throughout North Carolina.
