Bio

  Peggy Ann Harvey is an accomplished, classically trained clarinetist who also plays piano, flute, soprano saxophone and harmonica in addition to the fiddle and autoharp. She has been playing primarily fiddle for the past twenty-three years with her former Bluegrass band Traver Hollow, of which she was a founding member. She was previously a member of an all-female trio called The Hot Flashes -- an alternative musical outlet allowing Peggy to branch out musically, playing her horn and harmonicas. Her immense talent for harmony arrangement allows for some stunning vocal blends in any musical endeavor she is involved with. Ms. Harvey has toured extensively throughout Europe and Canada and has performed on nine recordings to date.

  Kevin Lynch, well known in acoustic music circles for his virtuosity on mandolin and guitar, has performed throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Europe. Kevin's intense, precise lyrical instrumental style has served him well while performing in various genres of music for the past thirty years. He has performed professionally since 1976, making music for theatrical plays, recording sessions for commercial & documentary soundtracks, several artist's recording projects, and numerous band recordings. He, along with Peggy Harvey, was a founding member of the CT band Traver Hollow. Among other music-related ventures Kevin hosts a weekly Bluegrass radio show, "U-H Radio Bluegrass", on WWUH 91.3FM in West Hartford, CT, has produced or co-produced music festivals and concerts, and has served on several music business related boards & committees. He is currently a director of the Connecticut Bluegrass Music Association (CTBMA), and a charter member of the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA).

  Rob Rainwater, an accomplished acoustic bassist, is no stranger to virtuosity. His diverse musical background enables him to bring just the right amount of soulful energy to the band. During the 1970's, Rob toured the North East with a number of rock and jazz bands including 12 years with Thunder Road. In addition to playing string bass, Rob has produced recordings for a number of local artists, designed music software applications and recording studios. When not performing with Gail Wade & Turning Point, Rob can be found performing with a twelve piece Big Band, a local jazz quartet and his own family band "The Rainwater Band".
