The RiverBenders are made up of husband and wife Mike Congdon and Patty Carlson from over Black River way, show host and overly chatty Mac Cherry and the ever talented, semi dangerous Brian Schellinger aka B Squat Woody. Brian is co-host and musical director of the show and a veteran singer/songwriter as well as a versatile musician. Rick Sampson is a flute maker and master of stringed instruments. He is one of the finest banjo players in the area and by area… we mean planet. Steve “Alty” Altobel is the little drummer boy and just like that Burlington Northern that just rolled by, it’s his job to keep everything chuggin along.
