THE TONY RICE UNIT:  This is our absolute favorite band in Bluegrass today.  Add Rob Ickes or Uncle Frank Poindexter to this unit and it is perfect!

Rickie Simpkins, Tony Rice & Wyatt Rice at Merlefest '05

The master... Tony Rice. 

Wyatt Rice, great picker and super person, too!

Rickie Simpkins... mando and fiddle whiz!

Bryn Bright... what a wonderful bass player and not too hard to look at, eh?  The bass looks rough... but sounds awesome!

Billy Bright, Peter Rowan, Tony Rice and Vassar Clements at Magnoliafest in Live Oak.  Not sure who was on bass in the back
