Alumnus of Vern Williams Band.

Ed Neff is known to all California bluegrass fans as the premier fiddler and mandolin stylist in the traditional vein. He has been a fixture in the Bay Area Bluegrass scene for over 30 years playing with such stalwarts as High Country, Done Gone, Roanoke, True Blue and the Vern Williams Band with whom he spent 15 years. Although Ed has long been acknowledged as one of the west's greatest fiddlers, Adobe Creek Bluegrass takes advantage of his stellar mandolin work and benefits from his authoritative lead and tenor vocals. Ed has also been awarded an honorary lifetime membership in the California Bluegrass Association

Mike Wilhoyte also has deep roots and a long-term investment in the traditional Bluegrass style. Mike first heard Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, and other first generation players, when he was13 years old, in his hometown of Toledo, Ohio. He soon decided that Bluegrass music was the music he would play, and he has been playing it ever since. Before moving to California in 1989, Mike defined his energetic and melodic guitar style in numerous bands in northwest Ohio and most notably, in The Raisin River band with longtime friend Jim Hurst. Since moving to the Bay Area Mike entered the local scene with a confident G-run and began playing with the nationally known band Roanoke. Adobe Creek Bluegrass is pleased to feature Mike's guitar playing and dynamic lead singing.

Jeff King has been playing Bluegrass music for over 30 years. Born and raised in rural Missouri to a musical family, Jeff entered music contests on banjo and guitar before playing on live radio. Jeff performed around Missouri, Maine, New England and the Midwest before moving to Sonoma County, where he met up with other bluegrass players and joined them on the bass. Jeff's musical talents were featured in Round Oak and a local band called the Rhythm Rasslers. Adobe Creek Bluegrass is also pleased to feature Jeff on traditional bass and vocals.
