Jeff Vogelgesang (mandolin, lead guitar, harmony vocals) – One of Jeff’s first instruments was a left-handed banjo he built himself from a kit. Later he moved on to the mandolin and guitar but stubbornly remained a lefty. This veteran musician played for 13 years with Alvin Breeden and the Virginia Cutups, a well-respected traditional bluegrass band based in central Virginia. With the Cutups, Jeff shared stages with artists such as Ralph Stanley, Del McCoury, the Osborne Brothers, and Mac Wiseman. He now satisfies his itch for traditional bluegrass by playing with The Virginia Ramblers.

Hi, I am not sure if you remember me but I am Alvin Breeden’s granddaughter, Tonya who lived above Alvin in the brick house. I am currently living in Utah since I was medically retired from the Air Force. I just wanted to say hello and see how things are going. I hope well. I hope to hear back from you soon.
Thanks,
Tonya Sanders (Maiden Morris)
