The Dyer Switch Band

The versatile and engaging Dyer Switch Band brings together hard-driving renditions of traditional tunes from first-generation bluegrass giants such as Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley with their own fresh and innovative originals inspired by diverse genres.
Performing since 1992, the line-up features the distinctive vocal and instrumental versatility of Tom Benson (mandolin, vocals, guitar), JoAnn Sifo (guitar and vocals), Bob Altschuler (banjo and Dobro), Nick Viscio (fiddle and vocals), and Randy Jennings (bass and vocals). The band was inducted into the New York State Country Music Hall of Fame, and was nominated for five consecutive years as Bluegrass Band of the Year by the Northeast Country Music Association.
Dyer Switch has received considerable airplay in North America and Europe, and a song written by band member JoAnn Sifo hit #1 on the European country charts.
