Initially started as a group of banjo enthusiasts volunteering to help host the Arizona Banjo Blast, our group, under the direction of Doug O'Brien has developed into a darned good band! Former hosts to the Biennial Arizona Banjo Blast, the group has 17 active members and we've become a family and love making happy music together. As a 501C3 non-profit corporation, the Blasters raise money through performances at assisted living residences, music festivals and private parties throughout SE Arizona. Those monies are donated to our favorite charities. |
