Cory Obert
Cory Obert grew up in California in the 60s and the 70s, and started hearing some of the more progressive bands using banjo and fiddle together.  As time went on he found himself being more drawn to the music of artists such as Michael Doucet and then Alison Krauss on Austin City Limits in the early nineties.  So at the age of 34, Cory finally jumped in headfirst and started taking fiddle lessons.  He now performs as the fiddler for the Colorado-based Sweet Sunny South.

Sarah and Laurah Mueller
Sarah and Laurah both play and endorse Frank's Fiddles.  At just eleven years old, Sarah is becoming known as a fiddling powerhouse.  She's been fiddlin' around since she was five, and sings too.  Sarah contributes original material to the band, including a gospel song that will appear on the upcoming full-gospel project.  Laurah, 13, is making a name for herself as a lead singer, and her first love is the mandolin.  She also plays harmony fiddle to sister Sarah. An overall great musician, Laurah can occasionally be seen playing guitar and banjo, and behind the scenes, Laurah is first in line to make sure that everyone is perfectly in tune.
