Music of the Mountains Where to be and what to see: Haymakers and Kyle O'Brien

 Over 20 years ago, Dustin Arbuckle and Tom Page met through mutual friends in the Kansas music scene. Around 2005, they started performing bluegrass music as a duo. Page was well-versed in that music, but Arbuckle had grown up in a blues-oriented environment, so the bluegrass style was new to him. The two played together on and off for several years, primarily in Kansas, but around 2012, they wanted to take their musical style further.  Kyle O’Brien grew up playing music. His father was musical, constantly taking his kids to concerts and festivals, enjoying songs from the likes of The Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan. His father was also a songwriter. Our theme song is courtesy of singer-songwriter Brittney Wagner. Stream her record Better off Dead here.
