Having endured the required piano lessons at a young age, he moved on to play saxophone through the end of high school. He took up the guitar a year later, and upon realizing that everybody played guitar he decided to try something different. After hearing David Grisman's playing with "Old & In The Way" he decided that he'd try the mandolin. He quickly set up camp as he realized that this was the instrument for him. Dave's musical influences include bluegrass, newgrass, jazz, and jam-band related music. Joel Adamson : Banjo, Vocals Joel formed Heartwood Hollow in 2002 to bring unadulterated bluegrass music to a new generation of music-lovers. After enjoying Bernie Leadon's back-up banjo for The Eagles, Joel received his Alvarez Denver Belle banjo as a gift after a minor car accident in 1998. He signed up for lessons having not even heard bluegrass music, but he was hooked after hearing "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" on a Mercury/Pickwick compilation album that included Flatt and Scruggs and the Stanley Brothers. His style has been called "straight-ahead"; his most important influences are Earl Scruggs, J.D. Crowe and Ronnie Stuart. His favorite bluegrass artists (besides Flatt and Scruggs and Bill Monroe) are Rhonda Vincent, J.D. Crowe and the New South and Bob Paisley and the Southern Grass. Nancy Steinberger : Fiddle, Vocals Nancy is also a survivor of piano lessons starting at the age of 4, and then seized the opportunity to switch to violin in grade school. Her great aunt had a full-sized violin which was too big, so Nancy hung her left arm off the bed at night to make it stretch. It worked - just ask her to show you. Classically trained at the Interlochen Arts Academy and the University of Michigan School of Music, she also plays bluegrass and jazz fiddle as a creative outlet. In addition to playing with Heartwood Hollow, Nancy continues to perform with the Ft. Collins Symphony and in local string quartets. Dan Fenyvesi : Upright Bass Dan is the former bassist for The Floodplain Gang, and has been playing electric bass for many years. He only recently made the switch to upright bass. His influences include monroe-style bluegrass, newgrass, and gypsy jazz.
