The VT Bluegrass Pioneers: an exciting band that unites the talents of some of Vermont’s veteran and best-known bluegrass musicians: brothers “Banjo” Dan and Willy Lindner – co-founders of the prolific and well-traveled Banjo Dan & the Midnite Plowboys, and continued their career as the multi-faceted Sky Blue Boys; and Danny Coane, guitarist and dynamic lead singer formerly with such bands as the Throbulators, the Radio Rangers, and Vermont’s nationally award-winning honky-tonk heroes, the Starline Rhythm Boys. In 2016, these three bluegrass stalwarts teamed up as the aptly named VT Bluegrass Pioneers. Soon they recruited former Plowboy Sam Blagden to join them on bass and tenor harmonies. Still rooted in the hard-driving tradition of first-generation bluegrass, the Pioneers share lead and harmony vocals, and in a unique twist Dan and Danny alternate on banjo and rhythm guitar. Their goal is to find the heart and soul of every song they perform.
