Let Piper Road Spring Band enhance your special event while they
celebrate thirty+ years of playing their unique style of music. Two of the present members, Bob and Kangaroo were present when the first phone call from Mitchells Bar was
directed to their farmhouse, also known as the Fiends Club. The owner of
Mitchells was in a predicament; the bar was packed and the jukebox had just broken
down.Piper Road Spring Band saved the evening by playing acoustically to the musically starved crowd. Thats
pretty much how the last forty years got started. With Mark, Barry and Randal, Piper Road Spring Band stands ready, instruments
tuned, to respond to the next musical emergency.
Known at the time as the Piper Road Spring Band, PRSB was nominated by the National Bluegrass
Music Industry awards for the Best Old-Time String Band and have won the Wisconsin Area
Music Industry (WAMI) award for the Best Bluegrass Artist four times, the latest coming in
1998.
