The Less Boys

Wednesday, July 31, 2019, 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM

The “Less Boys Bluegrass Band” hails from near Danville, Pennsylvania. Members include Bucky Cutchall and Ryan Ossont. Bucky and Ryan coined the name “Less Boys” from nicknames they had for one another – “Worthless” and “Useless”. The name Less Boys evolved from the nicknames. Other players who often accompany the LESS BOYS are Ken, Joe, Jim, Bob, and Ray. The LESS BOYS have only been playing together for less than a year, but their reputation is catching on. What most characterizes the LESS BOYS is their love of music and a good time. Never a dull moment when the LESS BOYS are performing.

The Loons

Saturday, August 3, 2019

The Acoustic Loons. With Jerry Betz on guitar and lead vocals and Charlie “Rock” Mausteller on guitar, bass guitar, and vocals they played classic rock, modern rock and eventually some originals.

It wasn’t long before they had a strong following, drawing crowds in many clubs in the surrounding area.

On occasion, Betz and Mausteller would bring in friend Tim Conrad on drums to add a different touch to the shows. With Tim’s talent on drums and his vocals, they made a great three-piece band. In early 1998 the trio decided it was time to record some of their originals. They enlisted friends Ric Delnero to lay down some lead guitar tracks, and Lindsay Lauver to add some backing vocal tracks.

The CD was released on July 24, 1998 and was a huge success. The Loons CD, “Cry Of The Madman,” showcases Betz’s strong songwriting and vocal abilities.

“‘Turn Around’ is the hit of this release as the song is stuck in my head and won’t leave.” Said Keith Hummel/PA Musician.

Harry Davis joined the band in the summer of 1998 making The Loons complete. In 2002 at their peak, The Loons came to an end. Somewhere around 2006 the four friends reunited and now continue to do what they love best….ROCKIN’ ROLL!

In 2009, Conrad and Davis left the band. Ric Delnero came back in on guitar along with Dave Cerreta from Clove on drums. They released a CD in 2012 called “Crazy Good,” another well received CD. In 2013 Cerreta and Delnero parted the band.

Over the next few years The Loons endured a few more changes in line up. Betz and Mausteller (the two who started it all) continued to find some of the best talent to keep the show alive.

The Loons again features Harry Davis on guitar and Chris Krepich on drums.
