The Orchard Boys Bluegrass
Band is a five piece ensemble based in
Frederick, Maryland. The group has
been a staple of the Maryland music scene
since the early 1980's when three brothers,
John, Jim and Jeff Rosenwald put their
exquisite vocal harmonies together with
their mandolin, guitar and bass playing
abilities to form a top notch bluegrass
band. With the addition of Fred Smoral
on resophonic guitar and Paul Houck on banjo
the Orchard Boys continually forge ahead
combining the traditional with the
progressive to create their own unique
sound.
Our philosophy on playing music is simple: just have fun! When we engage to play a gig, we consider many factors when determining the price, such
as: how far will we have to travel, how many sets ( usually 10/12 songs
per set) will be needed, is the function for
a worthwhile cause, will we be furnishing
sound for the appearance for ourselves (and
possibly other acts), etc. We consider all
of these items when quoting prices for
appearances. Please contact our
