| Tim Saunders. | |
Guitar (6 and 12 string), bottleneck guitar, 5 string banjo. vocals. Tim Saunders is an avid writer for the band. He started with a bluegrass band in northern NSW way back in the early 80's. After a long sabbatical (about 25 years!) he decided to play with the idea of writing music but with a style that was founded in the roots of bluegrass. The CD coming home was created as a result of merging those styles. A chance meeting with mandolin guru Rowlie Walker was the catalyst to the formation of the band Seagrass. Outside the music, Tim is a keen surfer, works as an analyst programmer at Rio Tinto Alumimium in Bell Bay, Tasmania and has a small hobby farm on the edge of Launceston with his wife Vicki and their 3 kids. |

Rowlie was a member of a bluegrass band in the 90's around South East Queensland. He has been playing mandolin for several years. His rythym and style is the powerhouse of the band's sound. For his day job, Rowlie runs a tour boat from Beauty Point ferrying tourists to Georgetown. He also lectures at the Maritme College.
