"The Resophonics combine the frisky amiability of old timey music with the intimacy of the contemporary singer songwriter." - The Boston Globe
			It's still as Alan Lomax said, "folk music with overdrive," but the Resophonics introduce elements lacking in most modern bluegrass music - great original songs played with passion, energy and humor that would be as at home in a rock club as on a festival stage. The four individuals that make up the band represent some of the busiest session and live players in the Boston/Cambridge acoustic music scene. Guitarist/songwriter Sean Staples was featured on the Boston Music Award winning This is Boston, not Austin, a compilation of some of the areas best songwriters including Ellis Paul, Martin Sexton, and Jonatha Brooke and has been featured on such prestigious stages as the Newport Folk Festival, the Rocky Mountain Folks Fest, and the Strawberry Festival in California. Banjo player Eric Royer has travelled the world with his "guitar machine," a one man bluegrass band that is nearly as mesmerizing as his inspired playing. Bassist Paul Kochanski has been a long time fixture on the Boston music scene and holds down the low end for the Swinging Steaks as well as numerous singer/songwriters including Lori Mckenna and Barrence Whitfield. Dobro/lap steel player Tim Kelly was dubbed by The Boston Globe "the dobro man in demand" and has been featured on numerous recordings including those of Mary Lou Lord and Alastair Moock. Together these four combine elements of the traditional string band and the contemporary songwriter to create a unique sound that is rooted in tradition without sounding dated, modern yet with substance. It's this sound that earned them a Boston Music Award in 2004 as "Best Folk Act" in a city known for a great folk and acoustic music scene.
