Tabitha plays fiddle, and sings in the Manitou Strings. She has been very involved in the arrangement and recording of lots of original material.
Josh Alford plays a gorgeous mandolin (ask him about it) with the Manitou Strings. He is our most regular "guest" musician, playing with the Strings since the very beginning. He can also melt your face with an electric guitar.

And here are all the "friends" who contribute
Michael Edmiston is half of A Carpenter's Daughter, a wonderfully talented local Manitou Springs band, along with his wife Chelsea. We are trying to work him in on cajon. He's already got a busy schedule...but we'll see how it goes.
Deirdre McCarthy joins us often on violin. What a talent! Not only on the violin, but her smoky and distinctive vocals, along with sublime songwriting skills. We are fortunate to have her play with us.

Katie on fiddle is a real treat. We enjoyed her company in the band for over a year. She is moving on to record and play with a lot of local, talented performers. She's a crowd favorite.
Bart Wachtler has played with us quite a bit recently, filling in on mandolin and electric guitar. What a thoughtful player he is. His first love, however....is not us. I know. We were shocked to learn that also. LOL. His first love is Red Moon Rounder, a local group of musicians who are producing all original music.

Monster mandolin player Nathan Patton joined the Strings... until he moved to Atlanta, GA with his beautiful family. We miss him, but for a time, thoroughly enjoyed his beautiful, deep voice and awesome playing style.
Kelly Hagerman is a rippin' guitar player. What a musician. He also plays piano and has picked up violin. He has been a great addition to our lineup that we have had the pleasure to enjoy.
