| Welcome
to Singleton Street's web site! If you've heard us live,
you already know we're a lively blend of
bluegrass/gospel, old-timey, Irish, even folk music. If
you haven't heard us, we invite you to spend some time
reading our stories and, if you're interested, to
purchase one of our new CDs (see "MUSIC"
for where to order).
Chuck Leyda
(guitar) and Sherri Leyda
(rhythm guitar) spent
three years touring Renaissance Festivals around the
country before meeting Jimmy Newkirk (bass) and the
Celtic band The Banshees. During their three
years together playing Irish music, they discovered a
shared passion for bluegrass and old-time music. They
soon became full blown cross-overs. Singleton Street
made its MBOTMA debut at the Winter Weekend in
March 2000. Craig Evans joined the band
a couple years later with his open-back banjo and frailing style, adding the ability to create the full
bluegrass and old-time sounds. The band especially
enjoys playing Gospel sets which allow them to show off
their tight three and four part harmonies,
flatpicking guitar leads, and banjo drive.
