The ever-smiling Tony Shorter of Nothin’ Fancy wows the crowd with his charm and crooner voice Friday during this past weekend’s indoor bluegrass festival at the Crowne Plaza in Springfield, Ill. Other members of the group, two-time winners of SPBGMA’s Entertaining Group of the Year award, are, from left, Mike Andes on mandolin, Gary Farris on guitar, fiddler Chris Sexton in background and Mitchell Davis on banjo.
