"Chief
Red Salsa of the Chipotle Indian Tribe"

is the Speakeasy Boy's other guitarist. Nathan's
strong native rhythms add drive to the Speakeasy
Boy's sound and his singing is quite powerful.

"Jeb"
Jeb
(Jesse Shultzaberger) is the Speakeasy Boy's banjo
player and tin-can percussionist. Specializing in
the Packhorse Ford hobo banjo style, his uniquely
original claw-hammer-like style can skin more cats
than one. In addition to banjo, Jeb also plays a
home-made tin can drum contraption, affectionately
named Jeb Jr. - always a crowd pleaser.

"Schmied"
Scott
Schmied, also known as "Thumper", is the
Speakeasy Boy's washtub bass player. Scott uses
only one string, the G string, which he has been
known to pop on occasion. The deep thump of his
washtub adds a strong backdrop for the rest of the
band and his high-pitched backup vocals are reminscent
of old, Appalachian mountain music.
