Having just finished their eighth studio album, they'll wander around a bit and see if anyone likes it.   The current cast of characters:  Jeremy Asay- piano, mandolin  Dave Asay- guitar, banjo  Elizabeth Anderson- Strings  Aaron Mattison- Horns  Tommy Mortenson- Upright Bass  John Myers- Drums  Benjamin Wuamett- Vocals   https://www.ezrabellband.com  https://www.facebook.com/EzraBellBand  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_8O4Tm1AbpGPw4q69tjnLw
