Meet the Ensemble Mickey and Fred have played together for over 5 years, ...mainly for fun and their own amazement. But, when the duo landed a gig at Tinnie Silver Dollar, they were asked to bring in a full-size band. Mickey says, That's when we were fortunate to have found Tim Rice (bass), Ruth Barnum (flute) and Brad Barnum (sits in on occasion on guitar) ... Alto String Ensemble is a strictly instrumental band, with a focus on a variety of styles, including jazz, rock, classical, country, ragtime and blues. They play private parties and special events, such as Ruidoso's Art Walk, and they are always ...pretty much in flux ... perhaps even merging with Acoustic Wheel when gigs arise for (other) full band requirements. |
