ABOUT
"The Uncalled Four" was the brain child of Ken Jacobson and Dave Nattress in 1998. The group started by playing and singing tunes from the 50s & 60s Folk era. As they grew, a blue grass flavour crept into their music. With theirr three part harmonies and instrumentation, it was natural for Blue Grass to became their primary genre. Uncalled Four's style is the result of a rich culmination of each member's many decades of a diverse muscial background.
