The Lonesome Sharks were born from a casual group built around Adlie “Arkie” Hedges, a championship fiddler from Arkansas. Looking for a name to describe themselves, they settled on “Ark & the Sharks”. Arkie soon retired to Florida though, leaving the remaining members of the band to fend for themselves. They decided that “The Lonesome Sharks” described their current situation very well, and paid tribute at the same time to the original “High Lonesome” sound conceived by Bill Monroe.
The Sharks soon developed their own signature sound, as evidenced on their debut CD, “The Great White Album”. Arkie occasionally returns for an appearance, and when he does, they really raise the roof. Their style faithfully carries forward the traditions of old time Bluegrass. They pay homage to the second wave of Bluegrass artists who changed the landscape of the genre in the 1960’s, while looking ahead, hoping to put their own stamp on America’s music.
On mandolin, they feature John Bowyer. Guitars are handled by Dave Johnson and Jay Jasper. Ricke Young picks the banjo and Jeff Headrick thumps the bass. Jay sings lead and everyone else pitches in with harmony.

Hello there! If I've already been in touch on this please bear with me but I'm trying to get the word out about www. indianapolissongwriterscafe. com
I'm working to create a place that ties together all the people, places & events that are relevant for an Indianapolis songwriter or a fan of this kind of music. There's also a community calendar (that needs a lot of dates added to it) that will soon be a one-stop shop for any songwriterish shows going on around Indy.
If you'd really like to help spread the word I'd be grateful as can be if you copied the little piece of code from either the ISC website or myspace page to display the banner on your page. Just drop me a line if you'd like to but aren't sure how.
