Description: Bluegrass ambassadors Hank Smith and Pattie Hopkins Kinlaw join forces again with their original and energetic soulgrass band, Hank, Pattie & The Current.

Hank Smith plays banjo, Pattie Hopkins Kinlaw plays fiddle and sings. The band is rounded out with Ben Parker on guitar on vocals, Robert Thornhill on mandolin and vocals and E. S
