STRING THEORISTS CELLIST FOUND
What? Weren't we looking for a bassist? Well, yes, but we found an amazing cellist instead. Aron Rider of the Caroline Mountain Band has joined us and we had a great first rehearsal with Aron and Irwin. Look for us to play out in a couple of months.

STRING THEORISTS DRUMMER FOUND
Irwin Anolik, who has been seen playing with various local groups, including Standard Deviation, has been recruited to play drums in String Theorists. Soon, Irwin and Steve will be meeting with a few prospective bass players to see which combination gells best. Once the lineup is complete, expect to see the band performing in the area this fall.
