Greg Brundage is proof in the saying "the acorn doesn’t roll far from the tree".   Greg graduated in 1996 with a degree in Music Education from the Illinois State University.    He is a classically trained cellist and started with the cello in his younger days in 1980.   In 1991 he started to play accoustic guitar.   He played guitar with Tommy Wu and the Funky Backwoods Boys 1992-94.   Greg again came to stage when he was a co-founder of the Sawdust Symphony.   Greg gets the credit for our namesake.  Greg is a fantastic guitarist and offers much in his styles and musical knowledge.   Nice shirt Greg!

 

 


John Losiniecki  Started playing ragtime piano as a teen by watching his Dad. Who taught himself how to play by watching a player piano. The Movie deliverance was what brought him to play bluegrass. Years later moved to Madison and lived with Glen Asch who  studied classical Violin and fiddled so shortly thereafter picked up the fiddle. Over the years have had the great opportunity to visit with Vassar Clements, Kenny Baker and Bill Monroe. They were generous with there time and encouragement. I learned my craft at camp Edwards in East Troy at string along weekends. Also started to play guitar and banjo at that time. I have played with Pickin Up Speed,No Brakes, Red star Express Rainbow County and Tera Planes from the Madison area. Currently I play with Cayuse Cowboys Mud River Lee and Sawdust Symphony. Beside teaching technical education for M.P.S. I want to thank family and friends for all the support over the years and hope to see you down the road. 

 

Al Brundage comes to the group with a rich musical background playing accoustic guitar, electric guitar, and mandolin.   He started playing music in 1962 on guitar and started mandolin and electric guitar in 1972.   From 1980-86 Al played mandolin and accoustic guitar with the CAHOOTS in Milwuakee.   In 1986-91 he was a founder of the rhythm and blues horn band JUKE JOINT ALL STARS and was lead vocal, electric and rhythm guitar.   In 1992-98 he was playing with RODEO DRIVE, a top 40 country band playing his style electric guitar, accoustic guitar, and mandolin.   Al took a well deserved sabatical to focus on his mandolin work and resurfaced again in spring of 2000 when Kurt Lange (orignal symphony bass player) Mike Mueller and Greg Brundage invited him to play with the Sawdust Symphony.   Al is a true musician through and through in both in his vocals, orginal songs, and his skill on the mandolin. 

 

 

Mike Mueller started playing banjo in 1972 at UW Stevens Point.   He played with OTIS AND THE ALLIGATORS (formerly WHETSTONE BRIDGE) until 1979.    During his Stevens Point days and during the 80’s and 90’s he played in variety of venues with many fine guitarists in the Milwaukee area.   In 1980-86 he played banjo with Al Brundage and the CAHOOTS in Milwuakee.   His continued study of the banjo includes work with Peter Wernick, J.D. Crowe, and Bill Evans to name a few.    Mike has developed a strong rhythm and smoothness in his attack and has managed to develop well his knowledge of the entire fretboard real estate.   He was a co-founder of the Sawgrass Symphony.    Mike also gives banjo lessons at his home in Mequon Wisconsin.  Atta boy Mikey!
