Mill Town Rounders formed as a joint project between friends Don Shulsinger (banjo) and Joy Walsh (vocals), who’d been playing music together on stages and in living rooms for several years. Like Don and Joy, the band's other members--Joy's husband Dave (harmonica), John Harper (guitar), Josh Olivier-Mason (vocals, ukulele), and Michael Carotenuto (bass)--share a passion for folk, rock and traditional bluegrass. The band's name refers to its spiritual home in Maynard, Massachusetts, the old mill town where four of the band members currently reside.
With a repertoire of time honored bluegrass standards, classic rock and roll jams, and down home country, Mill Town Rounders have been bringing their thoughtful arrangements, tight harmonies, and spirited instrumentals to the bars, breweries, farm houses and town festivals of Massachusetts since 2013. Their first album of originals, Not The Love You Wanted, was released in 2018 and their second album will be available fall of 2022.
