Pushing the boundaries of typical stringed music, Rockin Acoustic Circus fuses blues, bluegrass and rock ’n’ roll. The six-piece ensemble is comprised of veteran musician Rick Morton (who’s worked with artists such as Ricky Skaggs, George Strait and Kathy Mattea) and five teens: Sterling Abernathy on mandolin, Eric Dysart, on the fiddle, Carson Clemishire on banjo, Zac Hardin on bass, and Emma Hardin on cello. (Emma’s steady vocals balance the band’s sound.)
