The Musicians

Ribbon Grass Acoustic Group

Ribbon Grass Acoustic Group is a spin off of the local dance band "Ribbon Grass" and has been performing for 5 years in small clubs and venues. Using the word "acoustic" in the name makes it somewhat of a misnomer because we are simply a band without drums. David Single plays keyboard, guitar and bass and melodian. Ruschelle Dillon plays acoustic guitar. Ed Dillon adds in the low end on bass guitar, and rounding out the group is Terri Single on vocals and percussion. All four members share lead vocals and switch up harmonies throughout their performances offering the audience the utmost variety in song selection and genre. This isn't your normal "coffeehouse" music. You'll be dancing or singing along with this group. The band covers tunes from Lady Gaga, Katrina and the Waves, Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Fleetwood Mac, Journey and much more.
