below is info from the e-mailing I received for the show:

THE PINE VALLEY BOYS featuring Herb Pedersen, Butch Waller and David 
Nelson was formed in 1963. David's other band, The Wildwood Boys 
( with Jerry Garcia and Robert Hunter ) won the band contest at the 
Monterey Folk Festival that same year.

The Pine Valley Boys had a significant impact on California bluegrass 
and its three core members have enjoined lengthy and distinguished 
musical careers.

THE PINE VALLEY BOYS:
David Nelson: guitar & vocals
Herb Pedersen: banjo, vocals
Butch Waller: mandolin, vocals
plus:
Ed Neff: fiddle
Steve Pottier: bass

* w/Pete Grant on dobro

DAVID NELSON continued his musical partnership with Jerry Garcia in 
several bands, including The Black Mountain Boys, NEW RIDERS OF THE 
PURPLE SAGE, and JERRY GARCIA ACOUSTIC BAND.

After the Pine Valley Boys, HERB PEDERSEN played with VERN & RAY, the 
DILLARDS, LINDA RONSTADT, JOHN DENVER, EMMYLOU HARRIS & DESERT ROSE. 
He now tours with his bluegrass band, The Laurel Canyon Ramblers.

BUTCH WALLER formed HIGH COUNTRY in 1968 and still leads the most 
enduring traditional bluegrass band in the west. A tremendous BILL 
MONROE style mandolinst and singer, Butch and the HIGH COUNTRY boys 
play regularly around the San Francisco area. 

ED NEFF, called by DEL McCOURY "the best bluegrass fiddler in 
California" was also a member of VERN & RAY BAND, DONE GONE and the 
ROSE MADDOX BAND. Ed currently tours with TRUE BLUE, a premier bay area
bluegrass band.

STEVE POTTIER, a master of many instruments plays mandolin with THE 
EARL BROTHERS, the most hard driving bluegrass band going in San 
Francisco, plays with the Circle R Boys, and the Avocados. Writes for 
"Flatpickin Guitar" and knows more about CLARENCE WHITE'S music than 
anyone in North America.
