About

Gil has been playing the banjo for over 20 years, and it shows—in the sound, the arrangements, and the creative curveballs that keep the band sharp. Because the banjo doesn’t always play by the rules, Gil often adapts songs to make them work, giving the band its signature edge and unexpected charm. He’s the creative backbone of the group… and the one most likely to threaten quitting once a month (don’t worry, it never sticks).

Brand is the band’s frontman and steady force—bringing energy, harmony, and a sense of fun that carries every performance. As lead vocalist and guitarist, he anchors the sound while keeping things light, lively, and moving forward. He’s also credited with the essential role of reminding Gil why the band exists whenever morale dips. Equal parts talent and glue, Brand keeps the music—and the band—together.
