Bob is one of the west’s premier songsters, able to turn a phrase with the best of ‘em. Despite a deep love of rock and roll (as showcased in Bob Lefevre and the Already Gone, with two albums out), he also crafts country and folk tunes that are distinctly Ten Cent Stranger. Often inspired by the classic country concepts of longing and leaving, he entwines these words with intricate melodies and chord progressions that set the stage for the rest of the band to play upon. Keep an eye out for an upcoming solo effort. Photo © Don Turner

Laniece brings a whole lot of soul to the group, and her powerful vocals were sought out in the band's earliest days. She's loves riding a mountain bike through the stands of aspen above Laramie, often finding a secluded piece of forest to swing in a hammock. A reader of people, she's quick to notice when something's on your mind and quicker to offer a helping word. She's recorded on over twenty studio albums, and you can find some of her more soulful singing with her other projects Mama Lenny and the Remedy, Rumors, and Dead Floyd. Photo © Don Turner

Jack asked for a violin for Christmas when he was three years old, but didn't want to take lessons. He just wanted to play. After fifteen years of classical training, it was clear the lessons were actually worth it. You'll now find him teaching fiddle, mandolin, and guitar to students in Laramie and virtually around the world or find him leading old time and bluegrass jam sessions weekly in town.

Mike Krupp has been playing music since before a few of us were even born. He went to high school with notable members of Wilco, and could have made the band, but they weren't goin anywhere quick. Instead, he turned his attention to educating the youth of our town, henceforth known as Mr. Krupp. As a bonafide tasteful drummer, he's in high demand in our little town. We're lucky he's only got one side project at the moment, rocking out with Bob Lefevre and the Already Gone. Photo © Don Turner

Shawn will always be the finest dressed cowboy among the lot. He's perfected a thumpin' upright and a groovin' electric, and knows when to use each to their full potential. Though h's played in too many bands to count, Shawn currently fronts the classic sounds of Country Skillet and plays many a solo show. He's released three fantastic albums which you can find at a streaming service near you! Photo © Susan Moldenhauer
