Donna Lynn Caskey is a Banjo Gal on Facebook and in person. From a musical family, headed to art studies, she got hijacked by a banjo, and pays for her music addition by her job as a social worker. She appeared on the Banjo Babes 2015 Calendar, and on other years as well. A self-proclaimed recovering perfectionist, Donna releases her music with a deep heart, a stirring voice, and an open spirit. She calls Ventura, CA, home.

Mother Banjo (Ellen Stanley) is wonderful. In addition to her musical career, she is executive director of the Minnesota Music Coalition, and does a weekly show on station KFAI called Womenfolk. She writes all kinds of great music, with a special gift for creating new & impeccable gospel songs. She's shared the stage with many folks, among them Robert Bly and Tracy Grammar, and is coming near the end of fund-raising for her 5th album with a Kickstarter Campaign.
