End of an era for the Lake Effect Bluegrass Band. After performing for 49 years with Andy Pawlenko & The Smokey Hollow Boys and 10 years with Lake Effect Bluegrass our mandolin player Neil Shortslef has retired from the band. Neil will surely be missed by the band but you can count on seeing him campground jamming at bluegrass festivals throughout New York state. Thank you for everything "Uncle" Neil.
