Asher Gray was the first performer to present music, at age 13. 

His bandmate in Myserk, Randy Gosa,  has played numerous times over the past 25 years ago. 

Olivia Langby and Molly Noyes have also played in  a number of acts. 

 Gray and Gosa (founding members of the accomplished group Cé) team up with Noyes and Langby to play straight ahead Irish traditional music on fiddle, uilleann pipes, accordion, and concertina. 

Frogwater has been a staple of Milwaukee's Irish music and dance since Susan Dermody Nicholson and John Nicholson were a part of the groundbreaking band, The Ghillies.   Since then, the duo have blended Irish, Scottish and Americana music to bluegrass. 

They have played the PPP many times over the past quarter century.
