The Band (pictures coming soon!)

Todd Patrick Livingston - Dobro
Todd is a red-haired lazy buddhist smart-ass who loves all music, good and bad. Originally from Saginaw, Michigan, he currently lives in Nashville by way of Colorado. Todd has played dobro for over 10 years and is both self-taught and taught by others. He roomed with grammy-winning dobro-player Sally Van Meter while living in Colorado where he started the internationally- known touring band Hit & Run Bluegrass. He has played with Jerry Douglas, Jim Lauderdale, Cowboy Troy and Trent Tomlinson. Todd plays the dobro, pedal steel, electric guitar and banjo as well as writes and sings his own music. Regarding Ralph 2, Todd admires his ability to connect emotionally to a song and deliver it in a way that strikes a chord with people.

Donnie "PeeWee" Lambert - Upright and Clevinger bass
Donnie exploded onto the musical scene after his start as a lowly vintage instrument collector. He has rocked stages both on and off (once due to excessive cussing) with such greats as Claude Jenkins and the Corn Cob Mafia. Thanks to humble family connections including a daddy who was homestead-adjacent to the Carters and a Buckaroo cousin on Hee Haw, Donnie has been playing upright bass for 10 years and selling used cars in between sets. These days he prefers playing his Clevinger, or stick bass, which he claims has the most true tone of any electric bass on the market. Career-wise, the only thing young Donnie has ever won is a fishing pole at a raffle: however, he has a propensity for talking his way out of speeding tickets, a talent that should serve the boys well on the road. Donnie likes playing for Ralph 2 because "he don' t try to sing fancy so it sounds real good."
