About the Band: Bend in the Road

After many requests, Bend in the Road returns for SNAG 2025!

Dave Balika on dulcimer, Lynn Hansen on flutes, Jon Ball on guitar and Denny Vaupel on string bass are long time friends and have been playing music together as Bend in the Road for more than 20 years. They play a variety of folk tunes, bluegrass, Irish tunes and anything else that tickles their fingers. When good friends get together to play music you never know what path it will take so you just take the bend in the road. 

Thank you to our SNAG Sponsors!

The generous support of these individuals and organizations allows SNAG to fundraise entirely for museum operations and preservation work.
