Sheiks, and Hoyt Ming & His Pep Steppers. The Scramblers are a Mississippi
string band that built its sound on these strong traditions. They put on high
energy performances of traditional and original Mississippi music as well
tunes shared by their friends from the bayous of Louisiana to the college
communities of upstate New York.

as can been heard in their original songs. The four-piece (J.C. Bell, Paddy
Corcoran, David Atherton and Sarah Larsen) all have strong backgrounds in
traditional music.
