Although "Anvil Blasters" may sound like the name of a heavy metal (pun intended) band, we play an eclectic mix of old and new songs, rowdy and mellow, known and fresh, covers and originals. Jim's rich baritone and accomplished rhythm guitar make for fine delivery of his well-crafted story-songs spawned from an exceptionally articulate mind. Photos thanks to Lynn Woodward and Traci Hill.

Lynn's torchey voice turn heads and taps the heart, and she tosses in a bluegrass tinge with her mandolin chops. Mike's originals are a fun mix of sweet and hysterical, and he laces fine bright lead guitar and mandolin leads thoughout the set. Jeff provides strong, inspired rhythm as he dances with his stand-up bass in a grand attempt to anchor us; he says a set of reins and a whip would help… Last but not least, in Pete we trust — you wouldn't hear nothin' nice without the exceptional ears of our attentive & masterful soundman, who incidentally, thinks that music amplified too loud, well, isn't good music.
