The band conists of guitarist Quentin Acres, mandolinist Tommy Norris, fiddler Noah Wall, and on Upright Bass Hasee Ciaccio. The group shares in lead and harmony vocals and each contribute to the compositions, with the bulk of them coming from Ms. Wall. The two instrumentals are Acres' "Southfork By Midnight" and Norris' "Calico Jack." The remainder of the tunes are written by Wall, with the exception of "Wasting Time" from Andrew Marlin and "The Whole World Round" from Joe Stuart and Mitch Jayne. Wall is a good songwriter; her songs are crafted well and fit into the trio's arrangements.  The Nellies The Nellies are an Albany, NY based, rootsy, alt-country, Americana band. The band is driven by core singer-songwriter duo, Karen Ann Gilpin (acoustic guitar/banjo) and Peggy Lecuyer (mandolin/harmonica) who both contribute driving rhythms and beautiful two part harmonies to their songs.
