Here’s some info on the players in My New Favorites: Jeff Benedict is a singer and songwriter who plays guitar and banjo in the band. He writes most of the stuff My New Favorites plays. Then he watches as the band arranges it, changes it and births it out into the world.

Linda Waltner is a classically trained violinist, but doesn’t let that get in the way of being a first-rate fiddler. Right at home with Mozart or Mumford, she can also do old-time and Celtic.

Amy Benedict, “the little girl with the great big bass,” is a veteran performer on the old time scene. A lifelong singer and dancer, she brings strong melodies and harmonies to the band’s vocal mix.

Tracy Johnson plays the keyboards and the accordion, and does a great job singing. She’s the only one in the band to play Carnegie Hall! Her strong musical style helps drive the music forward through every performance. www.mynewfavorites.com mynewfavorites@hotmail.com 423-418-4701
