In the rhythm section with the bass fiddle you'll often find Ernie Sykes. Ern was born and half-raised on Long Gisland in New York (USA), and he loved it so much there that he moved to the South as soon as he learned to read a map and compass in Cub Scouts. Ernie is another musician who can't hold a real job, and has played with his family band, the Bluegrass Cardinals, the Lonesome River Band, Irish ceilhi band The Aisles of Langerhanz, and notably was the final bass player in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys. This lifetime of underemployment has made Ernie a Master Entertainer in the grand Catskills and Broadway (mainly Robert's Western Wear) tradition, which is why he now works with a cigarette and a drink in hand, and his bow-tie undone. As if there was no beginning to Ernie's talent, he also does the third-best Lester Flatt imitation on two feet. Ernie sings a good country song, and he also sings bad country songs. The band knows better than to leave "dead air" on the microphone, since Ern has a move to the backboard to beat LeBron James, and he has an endless store of ad libs, non sequiturs, real sequiturs and unflattering asides about his bandmates. That's the muttering you hear from the back of the stage while Leroy is strapping on the scrubboard. In addition to music, Ern's resume includes arrest (no conviction) for the kidnapping of guitarist Leon Rhodes, third-billing in a horror movie, cut-man for boxing legend Donnie Pendleton -13 (5 KO's) and 166 (33 KOs), and summer replacement DJ at Deja Vu Gentlemen's Club until he got caught stealing downloads. Ernie learned a mean "butter paddle buck and wing" from the late Chick Stripling, which he features at Bar Mitzvahs. Don't ask for it, you can't afford it.

Grand Ole Opry announcer Eddie Stubbs calls Mike Webb " a great disciple of Brother Oswalds school of music". A very fitting title and one Mike Webb wears well. This Tennessee native learned to play guitar at the age of 14 from his Dad. Music was always a part of the Webb household. Saturday nights found family and friends gathering for some music and fellowship at their home. After a few years playing guitar Mike took a keen interest in the dobro style of Bashful Brother Oswald, who he frequently listened to on the Grand Ole Opry. A few years later he got the chance meet the dobro icon backstage at the opry. It was evident to those present at that first meeting that the two had much in common, and a bond was formed. Oswald began teaching Mike the old time mountain style that he had made famous with Acuff. "I spent so many wonderful afternoons sitting knee to knee with Os , learning the old time style he created ". It wasn't too long before Charlie Collins had mentioned Mike to Wilma Lee Cooper who was looking for a dobro player. As fate would have it Mike soon found himself on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Wilma Lee Coopers band the Clinch Mountain Clan a time he holds dear to his heart. In 1999 he began working with another Roy Acuff band member, guitarist Charlie Collins. " Charlie is one of my heros and I love working with him , he's from the old school". With longtime friends Kent "Superman" Blanton and Robert Montgomery aduiences are treated to more than just great music, but an educating journey back in time to the early days of rural stringband music. His lastest album contains songs written by the late Ira Louvin of the Louvin brothers as well as self penned songs. Joining him on the album are Marty Stuart , bluegrass legend Bobby Osborne as well as Acuff guitarist Charlie Collins. Mike Webb has traveled the country appearing at festivals as well as private events. He along with Charlie Collins has hosted the Ernest Tubb Midnite Jamboree on WSM , performed at various festivals around the country as well as appeared on Grand Ole Opry live and is regularly seen on RFD TV on the Cumberland Highlanders Show. Mike can often be found at the Country Music Hall of Fame performing his dobro style. An avid collector of country music and grand ole opry memorabilia Mike has a vast and rare collecion. And speaking of memorabilia Mike's instruments are country music history relics themselves. The dobro, well thats Bashful Brother Oswalds dobro you hear him play, and Oswald's banjo as well. After Brother Oswalds passing he aquired them from his widow Mrs. Kirby who stated " he wanted you to have them so they would continue to be played". And so the torch was passed, and I can't think of a better person to keep it burning.
