The Rose City Banjoliers band, formed in 1972, consists primarily of plectrum and tenor banjos, a tuba, a piano, a saw, washboard(s), and vocalists. Our toe-tapping music, which ranges from the "gay nineties" to the mid-1900's, is popular with audiences as diverse as farmers markets, retirement homes, county fairs, and private parties. We are a nonprofit organization.
