An Acoustic group, Whistlin' Rufus. Although some of their tunes are Irish they are not an Irish Band. That they play traditional bluegrass instruments, some bluegrass tunes and sing close harmonies doesn't make them a true bluegrass band either. The Whistlin Rufus artists are delightfully varied in their choice of material. They enjoy everything and like to play it too.  Whistlin'Rufus favors their original compositions but don't be surprised if you hear tunes from Tim O'Brien, or Green Day, The Beatles, or Bill Monroe. You can be sure  to hear traditional foot stompin mountain songs,Irish Ballads and American Folk favorites!
