American bluegrass musician (banjo, fiddle, mandolin and guitar) and singer. Dave Edmundson formed The Hotmud Family at the end of the 1960s as an old-time country stringband, playing the music of such iconic country musicians of the 1920s and 1930s. Life after Hotmud includes nearly six years as a member of the Dry Branch Fire Squad, followed by twenty years or so playing in groups like the Lazy Boys, the Side Cars, and lately the OK Ramblers .
