Hailing from a far away place where a Sheetz is still the only place in town suitable for a first date, Bryce moved to Pittsburgh. Thats about it...

Kraig Decker - Guitar, Vocals, Fiddle
After a chance encounter with YORSP one night in Pittsburgh's South Side, Kraig muttered the immortal words: "Mind if I play along?" Having heard him play at random open stage type gatherings, YORSP decided to give him a chance. Though he never got "approved", if anybody asks, and you see him within an ear's shot, he is a member of the band.

Stephen Harding - Harmonica, Vocals, Duck Call, Kazoo
He sings blues, n'at. Paco has been asked to write a better biography of himself, but he hasn't yet (the lazy bastard). Ok... so I didn't ask him to write a bio... This doesn't change the fact that he's lazy. And a bastard.

Evan Shirey - Washboard, Tambourine, Boo-yah's
Having finally planted his roots in the "Big City", Evan uses the Shithouse Players to get back in touch with his rural beginnings. Playing the music of his forefathers takes his mind back to the front porch of his families lands in Mt. Pleasent, which helps him forget that he now lives by a sewage treatment plant, an abandoned prison and a large gay bar. Don't be alarmed when you hear the rustic-ness spew forth from Evan in the forms of words like "Booyah!" and " Awww Shit!", that's just his way of saying "Someone get me a beer".

Damian Hellbent - Banjo, Vocals, Wind Whistle
Damian is the first-chair banjoist for the Shithouse Players. Being the one that usually finds old-timey songs for the band to learn, he is an invaluable asset to have when you need to find a song for any given body part. Unfortunately, Damian has currently been deported, and is now living in Zork, Switzerland.

Gregor Steindl - Bass, Vocals, Saw
Having the goal of eventually being able to create music with any instrument or household item that happens to be sitting around, Gregor joined the Shithouse Players to begin work on the "Tools" section of his musical resume. So far, only the Saw has been utilized to any measure of success greater than failure. He currently holds, to our knowledge at least, the record for the most number of songs played on the Saw at the Hard Rock Cafe in Pittsburgh (one).

Glenn Shirey - Mandolin, Vocals, Guitar, Recording Engineer - Emeritus
Glenn, a former full-time member of the Shithouse Players, is taking a break from the Troubadour lifestyle. You may occasionally see him at shows enjoying a beverage. Since nobody ever officially retires forever, you may occasionally see Glenn join the band on stage for a few numbers, to the delight of all.
