Crosby, a baritone, has performed in several folk and bluegrass bands in the Pacific Northwest for many years. Benward has performed for as long as Florian and Crosby and sings the vocals of Mary Travers with a brilliance and versatility that has been honed by many years as a musical stage performer.
