“One Way Rider” Info:

One Way Rider is a family band, based here in Kent, Ohio. They perform a 
unique combination of Traditional Bluegrass, Newgrass, Country, Gospel, 
A Cappella & Progressive Appalachian. Consisting of mother Valerie Fay, 
father David Lee, & their children Amanda Lynn, Chittlin', & David Ray, 
they create an enchanting spectrum of sound, that sends the listener on 
a mystical journey through time. Val and David Lee have been performing 
together for over twenty years and the kids joined in as soon as they 
were old enough to sing. The fine mix of show stopping guitar pickin, 90 
mph mandolin leads, heart melting harmonies and a comedic stage show 
promises an event that the entire family is sure to enjoy.

“Get Out and Push!” Info

Get Out And Push started with an explosion of desire and a chance to 
play. Andy Cowan, Bruce Paxson, Walt Hasson, Joe Mendiola and Tom 
Himmelspach decided in 1976 that we had to play music . . . professional 
music. We learned the changes and immediately had the chance to play at 
the Village Inn in Washingtonville, Ohio, where The Butler Brothers ( 
thanks and love, Lonnie ) and John Douglass ( Jerrys' dad ) played. We 
had heard these bands and were off to the races.

You can't enter a race without a name, so after many agonizing 
discussions, we decided on "Get Out And Push" because all of us sooner 
or later had to push our old pickups, vws', old tired chevys, whatever 
would run to get together and practice.

I remember one night busting four foot snow drifts in Walters' old 
Lincoln on the way to a Village Inn job. I'll never forget the night 
that Andy and I played as a duet at a restaurant in Hanoverton. We left 
after supper to play another job at a bar in Salem. The weather was bad, 
the radiator hose blew, the battery died and we had to call for rescue, 
then we realized that we had left our instruments at the restaurant 20 
miles away. However we did make the job ( on time ) and had a good time 
as always.

So we got a name, we wrote some songs and we played every chance we got. 
The band members have come and gone other than Andy and I but we have 
always maintained top, heartfelt quality in our music ( the bluegrass 
signature ).

For the last 30 years we have continuously played on major festival 
stages, radio stations, town festivals, county festivals, given history 
of bluegrass shows to schools and universities and even performed as the 
bluegrass band in the stage play FOXFIRE. We love what we do ( hey Andy, 
do you remember playing in the grocery store checkout lane ? ).

We've recorded ourselves all along and constantly strive to keep current 
in our material ( keeping current to me means digging deeper to find 
those bluegrass gems ).

Well if anyone has any comments, questions or -Work- please exercise 
your EMAIL prowess and I'll respond ASAP.

John Prtljaga’s Home Made Music Box

John is a wood craftsman who lives in Barberton & Shalersville and has 
been making music boxes since 1987. Previously he had been a guitar 
maker and his woodworking hobby grew into a passion for the old style 
music boxes. Currently the instrument he carries around to events is 
based on a Wurlitzer 165 Pipe Organ design. John visits trade shows to 
find inspiration from the masters. The instrument plays 120 different 
tunes in the style of Polkas, Waltzes, Ragtime, Old Dutch, Belgian, and 
German Melodies. He continues to add to and modify this instrument and 
explains that now it sounds more like a Dutch Street Organ.
