The Prairie Acre started playing together in the spring of 2002. The band brings together elements of traditional bluegrass and old-time to create a unique sound and fuel their highly contagious positive energy.

Greg Yother:
 purchased his first guitar from a pawn shop in 1986. We believe the fretboard was actually made of recycled tires. His strong rhythym and unique style of playing are a key ingredient in The Prairie Arcre’s high-energy sound.		 Virginia Musser:
 Has been playing bass since 2002—when Tricia, Greg, and Noah decided to peer pressure her into joining the band. 		Tricia Spencer:
 Has been playing fiddle since she was 4 years old. She was taught fiddle in the old-time tradition by her grandfather, and has won numerous fiddle contests. 		Noah Musser:
 Has been playing banjo for nearly 8 years, and is an instructor at the Americana Music Academy, in Lawrence.
