The Passing Fancies were established in early 2025, and since then have been exploring fusing bluegrass fundamentals with a variety of roots americana music, jazz, classic rock, alternative rock, and more.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we take our music very seriously. When you hear us play, you might hear some classic Gypsy Jazz, or, a hot bluegrass rendition of the Oscar Meyer Weiner song. Trust us, you'll love it.
Our line-up consists of Mike Beaumier on the five string banjo, Robert Wheeler IV on the mandolin, Tim Clark on guitar, and Matt Fitch on Bass. We can't wait to introduce you to single mic bluegrass fusion!
