About Us |
The Rose City Banjoliers band, formed in 1972,
consists primarily of plectrum and tenor banjos, a tuba, a piano, a
saw, washboard(s), and vocalists. Our toe-tapping music, which
ranges from the "gay nineties" to the mid-1900's, is popular with
audiences as diverse as farmers markets, retirement homes, county
fairs, and private parties. We are a nonprofit organization. |
