Benny has handpicked a cohesive unit of some of the finest young musicians in the country to play his music the way that it should be heard.
Bound by the love of songs and the chance to play them together, The Wayword Sons are an unlikely combination of old and new, sweet and salty, part bluegrass, part jamband…the Wayword sound is as creative and unique as it is hard to define.

Benny “Burle” Galloway has been one of the best-kept musical secrets in the country. His songs sound like they are a hundred years old, yet connect with the listener on a level that few songwriters achieve. Burle writes songs that are both complex and simple, songs so powerful that the Yonder Mountain String Band chose to make an album with Burle, consisting only of tunes by Burle, with special guests like Tim O’Brien, Jerry Douglas, Sally Van Meter, Darol Angor, Casey Dreisen and Dirk Powell. This album, billed as “Yonder Mountain String Band and Benny Galloway”, “Old Hands”, debuted at #5 on the Billboard Bluegrass Charts and is one of Yonder Mountain String Bands best selling albums to date. As a performer, Burle puts everything he has into his soulful singing and playing, whether he is on the upright bass or guitar.

Gregg Andrulis plays the keyboards. He is a musician who can fit into and expand any realm of music he chooses to. Thankfully, he chooses to play Burle tunes. While in college, Gregg was the keyboard players for Toshi Station, the precursor to one of the most popular jambands in today’s scene, Umphrey’s McGee. His entrance into the world of acoustic based music was accidental. When he moved to Colorado and started looking for the best musicians to play with, he found Burle and has been hooked ever since. Gregg’s keyboard stylings help take the Wayward Sons just where they want to be, uncharted territory.

Anders Beck plays the resonator guitar or dobro. He was a founding member of what may turn out to be one of the most notable farm-teams in bluegrass, Broke Mountain. His playing and songwriting helped shoot the band quickly into the spotlight when they won the 2003 Rockygrass Band Contest only two months after forming the band. Anders’ dobro playing is tasteful and melodious, unique and ever evolving to create a sweet, lyrical sound that fits perfectly into the Wayward Sons.
----------
Robin Davis plays acoustic guitar and mandolin. Robin was also a founding member of Broke Mountain and comes from a musical family. He is a guitar whiz, and a fine fiddler, but perhaps best known as a mandolin player since he won the prestigious Rockygrass mandolin contest in 2003. His attention to tone and detail sets him apart from most players and his musicianship is impeccable. In addition to his tremendous instrumental skills, Robin is a superb songwriter.
