BIOGRAPHY
ANNIE & MAC - OLD TIME MUSIC
Patrick "Mac" McCauley
Mac has played his banjo and harmonica from musical stage shows in California to folk concerts and contests from Virginia to Tennessee and has collected numerous awards along the way. He has collected songs and old string band recordings for many years and enjoys bringing a little known gem to light. For several years, Mac performed with Andrew Acosta's New Old Time String Band. He was also a founding member of the Gospel Keys bluegrass/old time band from 2000-2005 and occasionally performs with Loose Strings, an instrumental group featuring harp, banjo, guitar, and bass. Mac is devoted to old time music and he hopes to continue to keep it alive and to encourage others to join in with instrument and song.
Barbara "Annie" Stevens
Annie played piano and guitar as a youngster but really found her musical niche when she discovered her love for singing and playing old time music. She previously performed with the Gospel Keys bluegrass/old time band from 2000-2005 and now occasionally performs with Loose Strings, an instrumental group. In addition to sharing old time music, Annie's other passions include drawing and painting as well as writing songs and poems. She has taught drawing and calligraphy to adults and encourages people to find and use their creative talents in life.
