Bass

Randy Hencke

Randy came to bluegrass bass after stints in rock, folk, klezmer, classical tuba and countless open mikes. Favorite artists include Alison Krauss, Steeldrivers, Tim O'Brien, Gillian Welch and Seldom Scene but there's always room for traditional tunes. He's been known to sneak in a Tom Petty or Merl Haggard song if no one is looking. Harmony singing is his favorite part of performing with Bow Junction.

Mandolin

Linda Magoon

"MandoLinda" Magoon was introduced to the mandolin by David Surette at the Concord Community Music School where she studied under him for many years. Bow Junction was formed from one of the Music School's folk ensembles, where Linda met up with guitarist Russ Aubertin and fiddle player, Kathy Barnes, to found the band. Linda's influences include Rhonda Vincent, Johnny Cash, Allison Kraus, and Doc Watson. A recovering banjo player, Linda also plays guitar, mandolin, and a very occasional tamborine with Mark Ledgard in his folk rock band, Tapas.

Dave Leathers

Dave is a singer songwriter from Bradford NH who writes and performs folk, blues, bluegrass and country music. Dave and his brother Glen first started playing in clubs in and around the greater Chicagoland metropolitan area in the 1970s and the blues and music of the Chicago folk scene influence his shows. Additional music influences are folk rock acts such as Neil Young, The Eagles and Jackson Browne. He occasionally can be found performing with his two sons at local coffee houses and festivals, both sons being accomplished musicians of their own. He joins his brother Glen Leathers, already a member of Bow Junction.

Banjo

Glen Leathers

Glen is a multi-instrumentalist, equally at home on banjo and guitar. John Hartford, Glen Campbell and Gordon Lightfoot were Glen's earliest musical heroes. Living in Chicago for most of the 1970s, where Glen began his performing career, he was also exposed to the music of John Prine and Steve Goodman. Glen has performed as a solo act for many years and you can hear his Chicago-blues influence in his playing, which melds seamlessly into bluegrass and Americana.
