Hailing from Tucson, the Privy Tippers are a rock-solid dance band steeped in the Southern string band tradition. Over the past 13 years they kept one foot in the South while they stepped into several other musical traditions, such as French Canadian, New England and music of the Southwestern Borderlands. Craig Tinney, guitar & banjo, and Jerry Ray Weinert, bass, lay the rhythmic foundation for the driving melodic fiddle playing of Jacquie Wohl and the "take no prisoners" mandolin style of Dave Firestine.
